You Just Can't Beat a Really Nice F.H.C.
I bought this Fixed Head Coupé Silver Shadow back in August and never told my wife.
It's been stashed in the cupboard since then but I took it out today while she was away.

It cost me just $249.00.
Yes $249, not $24,900.

She'd still kill me for spending 'Cole Haan' shoe money on a model car, though.
It's one of a run of 5,000 1:18th scale models by Paragon.

If you can find one, buy it.

Incredibly well detailed. Really nice.
And heavy.

Far better than that old Bburago Camargue model I bought 35 years ago.

Which I still love, by the way.
Now, if only Paragon could do a flared arch, rubber bumper, four door Silver Shadow in Cardinal Red...
Please don't tell my wife.
