Card description[]

  • They want you to reveal the secrets of the Mummy's Treasure but you never will! Time to make a break! You slip out the back door and jump into a Lotus Europa. With a speed of up to 125 mph, and a super-low fiberglass body, the Lotus Europa will get you under the security barrier before they even know you're gone!
    —From the 2010 and 2011 Heritage Classics cards
