Comments

Satisfactory overall appearance. The Alpine decoration is very fine.

Flush windscreen and rear window. The headlights and rearview mirror (not silvered), as well as the bumpers, are inserted. The windscreen wipers are moulded partly with the body, partly with the windows.

Silver plating is missing from the underside of the headlights and from the grille trim (although there may have been black versions of the latter).

The black trim (or vent?) above the rear lights is more successful than on the R5 REE.

The car can be dismantled by easily removing the bumpers. The black interior is quite detailed: steering wheel, gear lever… Photo.Dismantled car Note: on this photo, I accidentally swapped the front and rear bumpers
