I went to Toys R Us today where they had all of the collection except for
the Frogeye. Arrggh, the one that I *really* wanted. I noticed that the
picture of the 1961 MGA 1500 Twin Cam on the accompanying card has wire
wheels. Oops, it's not a twin cam. What size engine was the twin cam
anyways?
The wheels on the actual car also seem to represent wires rather than the
disc wheels. I don't think that the disk wheels were chromed anyways.
I also remember that the twin cam valve cover actually was split,
maybe even with plugs down the middle? The engine in the J.L. model
looks like a normal 'B' series engine to me. So, I just want to warn folks,
that despite advertisement, it doesn't seem to be a twin cam.
The cars, however, are indeed cool.
