I would say without a doubt, one of the most recognized vehicles ever produced. This is a very well designed and made model of this vehicle. The body is absolutely flawless with the paintwork with absolutely no craving and no bubbles that some models come out with. The colour, beautiful red that makes this model stand out Being a 2-door sedan, both the doors open well, however I would prefer that they could open more to give a better view of the interior. At the sametime, it includes a rather small boot area, but displays the spare tyre perfectly. The engine cover at the rear also opens well and gives one a perfect view of the engine. The fit is quite good with solid opening and closing of these parts. Both headlights and rear lights are positioned well and that includes the turn indicator. The chrome bumper bars are well made and are solid to the touch, as well as small parts like the engine cover opening button. The decals and emblems are positioned well with a chrome strip down the middle of the boot as well as the ceconisable wheel cover with the VW brand in the centre. As this was built as a low cost car that most people could afford at the time, the interior shows this spartan look that everyone knew. The seats give that look we knew as vinyl that most low cost budget cars used. May not be so great on a hot stick day, but at least most people were able to travel more than they used to. The dash was very low cost and low key in what functions it performed. Instrumentation basic. Speedometer With maybe an amp metre to see if it was recharging the battery. I am quite sure it also had a petrol gauge, though when they first came out, it was not included.the gearshift and handbrake feature as well as the pedal controls. The engine bonnet open well and gives a reasonable look at that famous air-cooled motor. The engine detail is quite surprising quite detailed aluminium coloured block with that gey look, gives authenticity to the motor.Underneath, we see even see more detail of that engine with its unique exhaust system. What we have here is a model that has been well designed and turned into an excellent display model. There is not really much that you could say that diminishes this vehicle. Overall its very collectable, colour is right with genuinely good visual effects. I give it a 4.5/5.0. Robin Finlay 19/09/2022. Project Manager

Smart Fortwo Vehicle & Model Description Smart Fortwo 2016 Smart Fortwo Passion Automatic 1.0 Front.jpg Overview Manufacturer Daimler-Benz (1998) DaimlerChrysler (1998–2007) Daimler AG (2007–2022) Mercedes-Benz Group (2022–Present) Also called SmartCar (1997–2002) Smart City Coupé Production 1998–2007 (MkI) 2006–2014 (MkII) 2014–present (MkIII) Assembly Hambach, France (Hambach plant) Body and chassis Class Subcompact car Microcar[1] Body style 3-door hatchback 2-door convertible Layout Rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive Rear-motor, rear-wheel drive (Electric Version) Related Smart Roadster Smart Forfour The Smart Fortwo (stylized as "smart fortwo") is a rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive, 2-passenger hatchback ultramini manufactured and marketed by the Smart division of the German multinational Daimler AG. Introduced in 1998, it is now in its third generation. The first generation was internally designated as the W450, launched at the 1998 Paris Motor Show. The second generation W451 build series was launched at the 2006 Bologna Motor Show. The third generation Fortwo (2014–) was internally designated as the C453 build series, and debuted globally on July 16, 2014, at the Tempodrom in Berlin along with a closely related four-door version, the Smart Forfour, co-developed and sharing the same platform and engines with the third-generation Renault Twingo. Marketed in 46 countries worldwide, Fortwo production had surpassed 1.7 million by early 2015. The brand name Smart derives from its early history as a cooperative venture between Swatch and Mercedes: Swatch Mercedes ART.[ The Fortwo nameplate derives from its two-person seating capacity. Until 2004, the Fortwo had been marketed as the smart City-Coupé. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Smart Fortwo Model The 1:24 scale model die-cast metal with plastic parts in our collection is the electric version. This model is a model that stands out because it represents this particular vehicle and is accurate in the out side in its dimensions and presentation. Because of its size, the two doors open nicely and the interior is reasonable in showing the details. Other than the seats done in a different colour, the rest of the interior is black with no other colours. rear door opens slightly giving a glimpse of what could be the battery pack, which is in a silver colour. Underneath, there are no details. This model is very basic and is a display for the museum in that it shows the different brands that have made the transition of converting some of their models to electric. I rate this as a 2.5/5.0.

Porsche Panamera Vehicle & Model Description Porsche Panamera We have a number of Porsches within the Museum Collection. A lot of people associate Porsche only in regards to their sports and racing cars. But Porsche has attempted to explore the luxury end of the passenger vehicle market. And so we have the Porsche Panamera. Our model demonstrates this attempt. The model as it stands is not bad. But it does have faults in quality control, in which it suffers from a little body panels not fitting as it should. But apart from this. a little bit more effort should have been spent on the engine, which suffers from simply pressed into a single piece that does not display the engine to its potential. Its a 1:18 scale, yet the engine design would be more of something that one would expect from a 1:24 or a 1:32 scale. The interior and instrument panel is better in which that time has been spent ensuring that the luxury of the real vehicle has been spent insuring that this model shows this. Doors open wide and the hatchback rear opens up to allow excellent viewing of it. Overall apart from those areas that should have had that extra efforts spent on it. The Porsche Panamera is a luxury brand from a premier maker of this type of vehicle, would to have a better Model. Overall I will give it a 4.0/5.0. Robin Finlay 09/08/2022.
