These popped up on Facebook and I think they're rather fun. Scroll to the bottom for the expensive ones!

Having programmed the tool cutting for the very first Bruno and then Mimmo it's so great to see Julian's dream realised and continuing. Lovely chap, smoked about in a S107 SLC back then. I'd have grilled him deeply if I'd known then he'd worked with Tom Karen!
He's got a great eye, I especially like the muscle car (serious Dodge Charger concept influence) and the Police car...very stylised but really evocative, well judged restraint.
Wish I still had the Bruno I brought home for my toddler assembled from moulding seconds...

I'm not clear on this £6,000 one...

For that price I'd expect it to be hand-carved from walnut by time-served Bentley craftsmen and the gold to be real gold. But the description says it's CNC-cut from ABS plastic.

I bought the kids some couple of years ago, a "Luft" which was alright and a "Velocita" which was a piece of crap.
Bearing in mind, these were bought as toys not as desk objects for posh office dwellers the Velocita was one of those cars (if you can remember that far back!) with really loose axles so it doesn't glide-they sort of rattle in their mountings resulting in not much roll for your effort. It can be pushed bout a metre at most where the Luft rolls until it whacks into something
I did in fact email the firm to ask if ours maybe was faulty but they never even bothered to reply.
Crap company in my opinion, probably too busy pandering to the set who'd buy a £6k push along toy.

I'm learning that any company that advertises on Facebook is likely to be dubious or overly expensive.Crap company in my opinion, probably too busy pandering to the set who'd buy a £6k push along toy.
