RONG XING BUGATTI CHIRON POLICE CITY GUARDIAN CAR 1/64

With its only intention being a cheap toy car for a much younger and less discerning audience you can forgive this Bugatti Chiron for wearing an extremely unlikely Police livery. Authenticity is certainly NOT the name of the game here, neither is quality and neither is good proportions!
Made by Rong Xing its unlicensed Bugatti Chiron shape is just about recognisable though this little cheapo does have an interior and separate roof mounted lightbar.
Part of a six vehicle set.
Mint and boxed.
