Rather different from the usual run of miniatures is the Danish Tekno die-cast model of a four-berth Sprite Musketeer caravan, to 1/48th scale, a sensible size which is apparently universal for these beautifully finished and splendidly detailed models. This caravan replica has a fully-fitted interior with coloured plastic furniture, seen through an openable door or by removing the body, is independently sprung, and has a screw-down jockey wheel. A tow-bar with self-tapping screw enables the miniature Sprite to be towed by suitable model cars. It is available in Britain only through Sprite dealers, who are selling it as a sort of celebration that a full-size Sprite holds the caravan speed record at 102.2 m.p.h. The price is 12s., and members of the Caravan Club and similar bodies will no doubt be avid customers for this excellent miniature.—-W.B.
