To be honest it's a pretty easy test to pass. I can think of singularly few cars where that won't be the case, even if the figure is mounted just on a washer, which most of mine are. If they don't then the chances are that it's not 1/43 but something bigger in the ever elastic 'fit the box' scale. Of course there are probably models of pre-war vehicles that height challenge the smaller 28mm figure.
