Thank you Peter, the first and only correct answer within an hour of posting.
Hello, can’t place the star, but the car must be a Graber bodied one, as it has an alligator bonnet as opposed to the split panels. Mike O
Thanks for trying but you score -2. The car is not a Graber but a TB21 with A P Metalcraft coachwork. Wayne Brooks is the Model Secretary and will no doubt add to the history of this model.
A further clue to the star is that she drove a 12/50 ducksback in a film co-starring with Peter O’Toole.
Good share
