The car of The Saint

Yes, we could see this Jaguar XJS luxury sport car in the TV-series: 'The Saint' starring Ian Ogilvy in 1978, only his car had white colour.
This is a Corgi Junior car, in dark green colour, which I didn't like at all. That original paint also was not in good condition, so I decided to restore and give it a nicer colour.


It got nice metallic lilac and the details, too:





A cute little Italian - the Fiat 127

This car was one of my favourite ones, although it is not a Matchbox, but a French Majorette. This Fiat 127 has got a cute shape, it was a popular car in the 1970's and the producer of this model car fairly well gave its unique figure. It is funny, how a very big dog looks out of a window (which as far as know couldn't be opened in the real car)...



The car has got its new skin:


And the toy car turns into a model car, as it got the details, too:







This car is a dear member of my own collection.
