Love that DInky EJ Special Lingus and I do remember the bronze metallic version. A mate of mine had one and I was always intrigued by its headlight lenzes that sparkled like diamonds when the light hit them.

Another of my favourites was Lady Penelope's bright pink Rolls from the Thunderbirds TV series. I remember Corgi and Dinky both made these and they were pretty special. I could never figure out why Brains, who was supposed to be the design genius behind the International Rescue fleet, decided to fit a four-wheel twin-steer front end to this car. Was it supposed to be a six-wheel drive? Or was it just to make such a monster easier for poor old Parker to park?
