With talk the other night on Hot Wheels, Matchbox, Corgi, etc...
It brought back fond memories of a Bburago 1955 Lancia Aurelia b24 Spider.
I loved that car and promised myself one day I would have one for real.
So straight away I got onto ebay and found a few. Got myself this one (identical to the one I had as a child) on way for GBP£19.00 delivered. Die Cast copy with steerable wheels by the steering wheel, bonnet/hood, boot/trunk, doors and moving seats. All those childhood memories are flooding back and I haven't even received it yet.

I liked Bburagos. They had that chunky, solid feel no other brand quite had.

Ye', they had a substantial feel, with exceptional attention to detail. There is another I'm looking at with working lights (a guy has built white LEDs into the head lights, red LEDs in the tail lights and a red LED in the drivers footwell powered from a 9V battery).

Damn, auction finished. I should of checked back soon.
I'm kicking myself right now for not keeping a closer eye on it. Doh!
