There are no opening parts on this model. All features are either cast into the metal or comprise photo-etched parts which are attached during the finishing of the model.

The front lights are clear lenses inset into chromed plastic surrounds and mounted into the body. The rear lights are red lenses fitted to a chromed plastic housing and mounted into the body.
The interior is light tan plastic and it has a black left hand drive steering wheel mounted below the slightly detailed dashboard (instrument panel). There is a small, black plastic gear stick in the centre of the drive-shaft tunnel. The glazing is clear plastic.
All wheels have cream hubs with chromed hub caps and separate black "rubber" tyres.
The base plate is black plastic with "1/43" below the back left hand side wheel, and the company logo at the centre top. It also carries a rudimentary representation of the drive-shaft, differential, and exhaust system. It is held in place by 2 small self-tapping security screws.
