-202 Fiat Abarth 2000 (1971-75)

I am confused about the headlights of this model.

The actual concept car has a rectangular set of headlights which are different from those on the Dinky model.

but what is this one ? There is supposed to be one real car only. Is this a drawing and not a photo ?

Do we have an expert on concept cars on this forum.

Thank you for helping me to solve this problem.

Jacques.

It is most likely Meccano were provided with inaccurate or incomplete data when it decided to model this strange little concept car. The actual car had retractable headlamps in the centre, with the side lamps in the openings on each side at the bottom.

Herewith is the actual car although Meccano was unable to include the lovely ladies in the packaging!

The car was very, very small as can be seen by the size of the driver's head in each image! It was a good thing the engine was in the back!

Kind regards
