Hi Brian,
These ARE the Toys'R'Us TR6s! The only difference is the price. I
believe (not seen one in the flesh yet) they are made by ERTL but are
sold under the Britains Collectibles name. I don't know if ERTLs name
appears on the box, but the BMIHT name does (British Motor Industry
Heritage Trust).
Can't wait to get my hands on some of these (thanks Dave) and start
turning them into TR5s and TR4s.,
Regards,
Bill.
