Put your foot down, cabbie. Don't you know I've got a train to catch? Try that in London today and you'd be told, in no uncertain terms, where to sling your hook. But back in 1935 it was an altogether different story. People knew their place. There was a sense of deference. Meaning. And good old fashioned snobbery. Now you can relive the days when class meant something more than whether you turn left or right when you get on a plane, courtesy of this fabulous car motif from those clever chaps at Monopoly.

Exquisitely rendered in nickel plated zinc, this motor is a precise replica of the original from the legendary board game. Designed to give one's keys a touch of octane-fuelled panache, this racy little number is connected to a sturdy chain and key ring, so they'll hang together perfectly.

Now listen up and get a pencil and paper ready to jot down some facts. Monopoly is the most played commercial board game in the world. And it's no surprise, given its fiendishly addictive qualities, that 750 million people have played it since it was first patented by Charles Darrow in 1935. Originally American in invention, it was licensed for the rest of the world (that's us) by Waddington's, who cleverly changed the US placenames to famous London streets and landmarks including Leicester Square and Fenchurch Street Station before its UK launch. Right. Pencils down.
