Mine arrived today! The box thought it was a Chevy, but the model knows what it is :D

Image

I couldn't get any photos that show it, but it looks to me like the seats are from a right-hand drive, even though the model is left hand drive.

The steering wheel is on the left, but the single chair is on the right and the double is on the left. Or maybe that's how left-hand drives are...

Image

Regardless, the G60 now has pride of place on my desk at work.

They offered them, saw the sudden demand, ordered bunches more, marked them up to make more profit, and now had to reduce the price to get rid of them. The sudden shortage caused the manufacturer to have to use left over Chevy 3100 boxes to get them out quickly. :)
