Hi Guys,
I bought two 1/24 or 1/25 plastic model cars that are styled on the 1965 Bentley S2  two door coupe. The company name is on the underside of the chassis TAT in a diamond with the model number 707 made in Hong Kong.
I have one in a light tan colour whilst the other is in green. The plastic body reminds me of the same plastic that PlayFix uses on their kits.
They both had a push back motor fitted and a boot/trunk that opens when they were new.
The green one is almost complete minus the boot/trunk lid , rear bumper/fender and rear light clusters. The front has the Bentley radiator and three quarters of the bumper/fender. There's a  crack in the roof and a couple of chips.
Both have the main headlights, but the tan one is missing the front bumper/fender and a large chip at the front of the roof. The roof has a crack in it as well.
I haven't been able to find any reference to the maker on Google but the tan model keeps popping up in the images.
However there's quite a few die-cast models of the same model, also in the green but with a lighter green on the upper body work and a red interior. Both models are in grey with the over sized steering wheel in the right.
Out of the two models I hope to restore one and chop the roof off the other to form a drop head coupe.

If anyone has any information on the company, please let me know.
