Some models that I get are just too worn or broken to be retained as originals but rather than discard them I try to bring them back to life with various spare parts and a fresh coat of paint.
I am not trying to restore any model, merely make it something someone might like to display again.
This is a 275 Rover with the Golden Jacks removed and replaced with wire wheels on normal axles. Some wear to the chrome at the rear and just a spare on the boot rather than the holder device. I may change that as and when a device comes up.
