Škoda 440 Spartak Roadster. I love it to death. I’ve never seen this IRL but it’s still my new favorite diecast.

Do...those roof panels come out?

Has it got sun shades?

I think the whole top can be taken off to make a convertible.

That looks great! And the real thing is still around, which is rare for a concept of that period! (It was a wreck, and needed restauration, but still)

Send it to ICON and leave the patina and rust. Yes please.

Yeah the whole roof is a hardtop panel made out of something called Polytex which to my understanding is just normal fiberglass.

Funfact: Diblík, the designer responsible for the 440 Karosa Roadster, also designed these two:

The latter is made out of fiberglass too and is still in wide use today on Czech and Slovak railways.

That is a solid way to welcome in the day...

That would have been cool, but it’s immaculate again:  https://www.zwischengas.com/de/FT/fahrzeugberichte/Innovation-ohne-Zukunft-der-Skoda-440-Spartak-Polytex-Roadster.html
