Yes, yes it is.

Is the orange car a mid-60s Thunderbird?

Wait, how long have you had the white one? Morgan +4 ?

That is correct. It is actually a model I made of my real 1966 Ford Thunderbird:

It’s one I’ve had for a while now... I think I built it last year. It’s based on the design of a car from Legoland, which I stared really closely at pictures of and tried to replicate. I’m not actually not sure exactly what it’s supposed to be, but a Morgan +4 seems likely.

And, for extra accuracy,  it’s made out of the same material as a real Re liant

Wow, well done! Did you come up with the designs?

For the Thunderbird and the reliant, yes. For the white car? Kind of. I reverse-engineered it based on pictures of a car from Legoland.

Fifty cent test driving a reliant Robin is an episode of Top Gear I would watch...

I made a Robin. Yours is definitely better. I went smaller scale. Looking at yours again, I have a couple ideas to make mine better.

Not bad! Yours is a pretty good min ifig-scale version.
