Not compacted this time, and not a bad size next to Mattel's Finn:

The closest match I could find to Leland was the Jaguar E-Type, but not the usual slope-back one (like David Hobbscap). There was a convertible with a hardtop that looks pretty close, though it's missing the chrome strip down the hood.

Corgi released a burgundy one in the early 60's, and I got hold of a decent one and added some eyes…what's great is the hardtop lifts off, so a little paper insert cut just right fits inside.

The grill isn't a bad match…Corgi made it more like Leland's than the actual one, which was more recessed. (The 70's E-Type was closer to Leland's.)

There's a little Photoshop touch-up on the photos, but only to clean up scuffs…everything else is really there. He'll do till the real thing comes along!
