This is =E2=80=9CTammy=E2=80=99s MGB=E2=80=9D. Tammy was a fashion doll, =
Ideal Toy Co.=E2=80=99s competitor to Mattel=E2=80=99s Barbie. Barbie =
famously drove a Corvette, but apparently Tammy caught the British car =
bug back in 1962. While this model is not completely accurate in scale,  =
you can see how it is intended to represent a Mark 1 MGB. It even mimics =
the factory press car =E2=80=94 while the blue is much brighter than =
Iris Blue, it has the red interior, steel wheels and whitewalls. And =
true to Mk. 1 tradition, the steering wheel is broken in this example =
=E2=80=94 no doubt from trying to cram the stiff-legged doll into the =
cockpit.

I just acquired this from a Morgan owner who had rescued it from a =
thrift shop, and presented it to me at a vintage car event.
