I must admit Admin, I have never seen anything like it ina ll my years collcting, but in my defence, I'm not really into cars as such. It's a great little model and you were really lucky to come across it at such an unbelievable price as well, well done you
I noticed that a lot of my early pictures have disapeared, so let's hope these two don't go the same way.
These are two "Oxford Diecast" models that only arrived this weekend. They are both Paralanian Camper Vans, based on the Austin and Morris J2 Chassis.
I am over the moon with them, quite honestly, the pictures don't do them proper justice, as they look even better in the flesh, so to speak. The brown one is the Morris, and the blue and cream one is the Austin. Although they both look very similar at first glance, if you look closer you will see that their are subtle differences between them. The front grills are different, as are the headlights.
Just a quick "heads up" on this Board. I noticed earlier today that a lot of the original pictures had somehow gone missing, so I spent a little time refreshing this subject. I have deleted a few of the unimportant posts, and put up new pictures of some more recent additions to my collection.
So if some of the posts read a bit strange, and the pics showing the particular models have gone, don't worry.
They do look in excellent condition, we only have the thomas the tank engine ones the grandchildren play with,but if they keep them in good condition they might well be collecters items in years to come. _________________

The latest addition to my collection of British cars, is this Vanguard model of the Triumph Stag.
One of the more desirable British sports cars.
I was fortunate enough to get the chance to drive one, from Coventry back to Oxford. There was I, spinning through the Summer Countryside in this beautiful car, top down, and feeling a million dollars.
Only problem was, it wasn't mine, but belonged to a customer of the firm I was working for at the time.

If you haven't got the boxes,there is a seller on eBidwho actually makes them as reproductions. _________________
