Genuine or fake?
Just seen this on a local auction site, is it a genuine promotions article or something later made in China? Opinions please |

It does look very well made with good definition of the details........something that the cheap copies can fail to have.

I believe the originals were made of pewter, so check carefully

Don't know sorry, I could imagine that something like this was made at launch and supplied to dealers but I've never seen one before.
If it's the genuine article then I might place a bid, but if it's the Chinese reproducing replicas then I'm not interested. No Made in UK or anything, just a description that it is silvered metal and a few dimensions. Regards, |

Apologies for the size of the photo (only one I could find) but this is one of the presentation originals.
What's on you local auction site is one of these: http://www.noveltysoup.com/rover_75_pewter_model_car |

Many thanks for the replies. While possibly not original the price is low, (made in Midlands a plus), in good condition and I need something to counterweight all the brochures I have. Might well place a bid.
