Message: True Steve the real version of this model is still going .... strong but it is not as it was in 1907. During the 1950's it was restored by R-R and the straight windscreen was replaced with the 'bent' one as featured on the Matchbox model and indeed on every model released by every manufacturer since. So all these models are really replicas of the restored version! I have Randall's book and it is fascinating that so many models illustrated are from the collections of Forum 43 members. Cheers Chris
