These models were a departure from the multiple-livery classic vehicle fare that Lledo normally made - they were entirely new castings and were not subsequently reproduced in any other promotional form. The models were in varied scales from 1:80 to 1:100 as the real cars were very large. The promotion packed all four models together and included a foldout poster of specifications and land speed record events. Though Lledo also made a fifth land speed record car replica of the record-breaking Thrust SSC piloted by Andy Green, the company did not often return to such deviations from its 'liveried classics' format.
