Lotus Elan S3 1961 Sun Star 1:18
The Sun Star Lotus Elan S3 is a diecast metal model. For collectors who demand a true 1:18 display, this model features a Scale Deviation of only 1.6%, making it a perfect match for other cars in your collection. Unfortunately, with a Height Deviation of 5.7% the model appears visibly taller than the original car. Details like true to original chromed window frames and all the small parts contribute to an authentic display model.
