Whizzwheels and a screwed base. Tow hook fitted. White interior including the seating at the rear.
Based on the Commer Holiday Camp Bus but now finished in blue and white with various labels e.g. ‘SHELL’ ‘DUNLOP’ etc and a ‘RACE RALLY SUPPORT TEAM’ transfer (some age wear to this transfer). Opening rear doors.

An idea that was mooted (probably around 1970) but this model never went into production sadly.
