This is a 1:43 scale Die cast mode hand painted into the colours of Stock Car driver 562 HORRY BARNES. This model is based on when Horry raced in the 70`s. As most drivers in stock cars did then he  raced a MG Magnette. He has raced all over the  country and for many years. He later changed his number to the more familiar no. 6, but his racing colours have always remained the same. A great souvenir of Stock car racing!
