Some collectors like to keep their diecast in the original packaging, others (me included) like to take them out of the packaging.
But have you ever seen a model try to liberate itself?
Sick of watching the decades pass him by, spinning his wheels inside the dirty, plastic blister, this little Jag decided to take matters into his own hands and attempt an escape from his almost 50 yr old cell.
The crumbling plastic base helped, and then I finished the job last night in our kitchen. Free at last!
I really like the Majorette E-Type – such a nicely detailed, heavy model which is pretty close to the full size version.
Actually, I think he may have tasted freedom before – the Jaguar decal is missing off that long bonnet. Unless it was never applied at the factory.
I do have one other more play-worn example, in blue with the jaguar decal.
And say what you will, that’s a couple of fine looking rear ends.

I have a red version of the Majorette Jaguar that does not have a Jag label on it. Great to see that it wanted the freedom to roam the little car highways and byways.
