I'll be doing a ford escort or perhaps a DB5, depends on the stock in my LMS.

Sorry for the delay chaps, LMS had sold out of the escort & DB5 so I was left with the MGB & Triumph, neither of which I was particularly taken with. Consequently, I've just bought a Ford 3ltr GT from Fleabay. No decals, so it'll be done jet black, perhaps with some racing stripes if I'm feeling adventurous.

I've never built a car before so I'm not sure yet Jesper, I'll have to have a look at the components & instructions & make a decision based on how it looks.

It only arrived this morning, Give me a break Paula! 
I'll start on Monday, tomorrow's my birthday so I could get pretty busy! It'll be done in black, with Gold wheels. (thanks Arni)
The kit looks OK if a little "flat." Only major concern is that the floor/chassis part is pretty warped as you can see in the picture. Will require some heavy duty glue, so we'll see how it goes.

Happy birthday George. 
You could always try gently retwisting it on the opposite direction to the twist,if that doesn't work clamp it to a flat surface and dip it into hot water to soften the plastic.Next plunge it into very cold water,the plastic should retain it's new shape.
