This is a casting which I haven't seen too often over the years hence the small numbers in my collection. Its title suggests it looks heavily customised but thankfully the level it has been altered from factory spec is extremely tame compared to other Hot Wheels models. A recent charity shop gift so unfortunately I have no idea when this recolour actually dates from.
