Haven't seen the special edition, but both the blue one and the white one
that came out first bear no resemblance to the bottom of a Sprite tub. MGB?
okay. I guess the world of die cast isn't necessarily purist, however both
the cars I have had the funny MG front bumper that Healium sports. I haven't
ever opened the white one, but I bought a blue one to play with and it has a
couple of interesting things I hadn't noticed--like a bonnet that opens and
an engine compartment that sorta looks right. Also, this has got to be the
smoothest riding Sprite I ever encountered. I too am still looking for the
American Graffiti Yellow Car.
