I call this miniature the "Citroyen" because, well, it looks just like a Citroyen, the famous French car. I am not sure if this miniature was built off a pre-existing kit, or if it was scratch built. The back side (not pictured) features a very complex engine compartment. Fortunately, the detail has persisted quite well. Though the main chassis of the car is a bit messy, I'm pleased that the engine compartment is mostly in tact. It's actually quite complex, and would be too much work to rebuild.

This car has no undercarriage.

This miniature is in the same scale as the "large" taxi and the cars that are featured in my "reconstruction" project. I may one day attempt to clean this car up and add an undercarriage to it.
