For some reason I am on a mailing list for "Lilliput" model catalog.  They
have the 1927 Sunbeam LSR car 1:43 model in color on the cover - RED with
white lettering and crossed US/UK flags on the front.  Price $189.50! 6
3/4" long.   Also available are all the other Brit LSR cars up tp '64
Bluebird.
