The rear-engined Cubs were born out of their time. The concept was much the same as for the Dennis Dart that followed fifty years later: small compact bus, rear-engined with one person operation capability. They were in a strong line of bus development...

A sports car based closely on model 4.15 in the 1962 manual, powered by a Magic Motor driving the front axle. Tin-plate road wheels are used with the idea of reducing friction on a wooden floor!

This is one of the new model kits - the large orange one, 902400A. A nice model, with well finished parts and nicely presented in a tin, with a plastic insert dividing it into two compartments.
