This one has always been a favorite of mine. Issued from 2010 to 2015 there have only been 7 casting versions of it released so far. It was designed by Ryu Asada for Mattel. This green version is the 6th of 7 listed castings @Fandom currently.

It has always intrigued me how (or why) this casting was issued as part of the National Parks Series, but it was! I have always accounted for it as being a pair of tourists on a visit to one of the parks.

I could imagine myself traveling some of our dirt roads at speed in a Caterham.
