DESCRIPTION Siku has done some wonderful diecast and the early models from the 1960-70's are usually excellent. The Ford GT40 is not up to the usual standards. The raised headlights just look wrong and the two-tone paint on the doors detracts from the model. The engine is red plastic, just like the interior and the white-wall tires don't help. On the plus side, the overall quality is good, as are all Siku diecast. This one is no competition for the Matchbox GT40.
