The whole body has a weathered, distressed look, with darker patches and fine raised seams that make it feel like a car with plenty of miles behind it. The detail rewards a closer look: spoked wheels, round headlamps, a mesh grille, front and rear bumpers, wing mirrors, side vents and, through the open windows, a steering wheel and seats. It measures 9cm high, 30cm wide and 13.5cm deep, a good size to hold its own on a shelf without crowding it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe think it looks its best where it can be seen side on, so the long, low fastback line shows: a desk in a study or home office, a bookshelf, a mantelpiece or the top of a sideboard. The bronze tone sits well with dark wood, leather and warm lighting, and it works in a modern room too, where the aged finish brings some character to plainer surroundings. It makes a thoughtful Father's Day gift, and one that will stay out on the desk long after the cards have been put away.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is made from metal, and the bronze metallic effect and copper-toned stripes give it a worn, antique character that is part of the design, so the uneven patches and darker edges are meant to be there. It is an ornament to be admired rather than handled often. To keep it looking its best, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth, and avoid water and abrasive cleaners, which can dull a metallic finish. For a gift, wrap it in plenty of tissue to protect the wing mirrors; on a shelf, give it a little space either side so that low profile reads clearly from across the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMetal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBronze\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMetallic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.75kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDesign\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRacing Car\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOccasion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFather's Day\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big is the racing car figurine?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt measures 9cm high, 30cm wide and 13.5cm deep, so it fits comfortably on a desk, bookshelf or mantelpiece without taking over.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the racing car figurine made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is made from metal with a bronze metallic-effect finish and copper-toned stripes, and the surface has a weathered, distressed look throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the worn, patchy finish meant to look like that?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, the darker patches, uneven tone and raised seams are part of the design, giving the car the character of an older, well-travelled vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat details does the car have?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt has spoked wheels, round headlamps, a grille, bumpers, wing mirrors and side vents, and through the open windows you can see a steering wheel and seats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWould it make a good Father's Day gift?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe think it makes a thoughtful Father's Day gift, and its size and weathered bronze finish suit a desk, study shelf or mantelpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow should I clean the figurine?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDust it gently with a soft dry cloth from time to time, and keep it away from water and abrasive cleaners, which can dull a metallic finish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harvey Makin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53460850901259,"sku":"HM2717","price":35.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/hm2717_01.jpg?v=1792269192","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/striped-fastback-racing-car-metal-ornament-figurine-bronze","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
