<p>Land Rover Defender LWB - British Gas (N)
Land Rover introduced the Defender in the early 1980s as a rugged, versatile four-wheel drive, all terrain vehicle and with cargo capacity for a wealth of equipment or baggage, the Defender could handle anything.
Registered E203 PWR from 1987, our long wheel base version is decorated in the signature blue and white livery of British Gas at that time.&amp;nbsp; Deployed with British Gas North Eastern, as depicted on the cab doors, the body is white with royal blue lower body and roof and featuring fine lighter blue/aquamarine stripes along the waist.&amp;nbsp;
The interior is black and exterior trim features both black and silver finish. The matt black radiator grille has the Land Rover 110 name above in the centre while the spare wheel is fixed to the centre of the back door.</p></description>

<p>Ford Cortina Mk5 - Cosmos Blue (1:76)
Our model represents the last in the Ford of Great Britain Cortina series in real life, which dominated the British road scene from the early 1960s to the early 1980s. Ford launched the Mk 5 - an upgraded Mk IV - in August 1979. Marketed as a medium sized family car with prices starting at &amp;pound;3,475, the visible differences included revised headlights incorporating larger indicators, a slatted front grille, a flattened roof, slimmer C-pillars and revised vent cover.&amp;nbsp; The interior also benefited from detailed changes, including the dashboard and centre console.
Improvements were also made to the engine range resulting in better fuel economy and power output. The 2.3-litre V6 engine was given electronic ignition and a slight boost in power output to 116 bhp, compared with the 108 bhp Mark IV. Ford also added improved corrosion protection on Mark V models, which is probably why more have survived.
Our 1:76 scale vehicle tooling incorporates the upgraded external features of the real car and is registered FOL 414V from 1979. It is decorated in bright blue with black roof, pillars and window surrounds.&amp;nbsp; The black finish also extends to the side sills and radiator grille.&amp;nbsp; The interior is moulded in a rich brown with black trim while a final exterior detail sees the 1.6 GL&amp;nbsp; printed in silver on the boot lid. Grand Luxury indeed.</p></description>

<p>Bedford CF Van - Eastern Gas (1:76)
The Bedford CF small commercial van was first introduced by Bedford - in 1969. It succeeded the&amp;nbsp; Bedford CA van and was seen as a competitor to rival Ford&amp;rsquo;s Transit van. It was the last vehicle to be designed solely by Vauxhall and was one of the most popular light commercials of the day due its versatility, which included it being a template for a caravanette, notably the Bedford Dormobile. With longitudinal front engine and rear wheel drive and transmission of 2/4/5 manual to a 3-speed General Moors automatic, the CF Van was given a facelift in 1980, which introduced a 2.3L diesel engine as an alternative to the petrol engine.
Our very useful CF Van makes its latest entrance in a 1980s Gas livery, this time as used by the utility company&amp;rsquo;s Eastern branch. With a white body and royal blue roof and white bonnet, the model has been masked along the sides and rear with royal blue, light blue and aquamarine stripes. The bumpers are also white and the Eastern Gas logo features in white on the cab and rear doors.&amp;nbsp; Our Gas van is registered MMJ 153P from 1975.</p></description>

<p>Austin Mini - Speedwell Blue (1:76)
The much loved and great classic Austin Mini has been a motoring icon since it was launched in 1959.&amp;nbsp; This British car, designed by Alec Issigonis and his talented team, set the benchmark and definitely the trend for nippy vehicles ideally suited for towns and cities, where its versatility and ability to park in small spaces made it a must for ordinary young and old to rich and famous motorists alike.
Our 1:76 scale miniature comes decorated in pale blue with white roof with an early registration plate – 285 JYB. The interior and the seats are moulded in mid grey with a black steering wheel. The exterior trim is silver including the bumpers, window surrounds and wipers while the radiator grille is silver and black. The colourful Austin badge sits centrally on the edge of the bonnet and the trim is rounded off by the Austin Seven signature across the boot.</p></description>

<p>Austin 1300 GT - Aqua (1:76)
BMC unveiled the front engine, front-wheel drive Austin/Morris 1300 GT at the London Motor Show in 1969. Designed by the legendary Alec Issigonis, key features included a 1275 cc twin carburettor engine, a black full width grille, black vinyl roof and a thick black metal strip along the side, all designed to convey a sporty image. In 1971 the Mark III version appeared, lasting in production until 1974 when the range was superseded by the Austin Allegro and the Vanden Plas 1500.
A popular model in our Oxford 1:76 series, this colour scheme on the Austin 1300 GT is a delightful watery shade of blue with black roof and lots of silver masking. Registered RVB 740L from 1972, our 1:76 scale replica sports a steel blue interior with black dashboard and steering wheel. Further details include the Austin name is printed at the top of the black and silver radiator grille, with its GT status is printed in red on the grille and also behind the rear side windows. The boot lid carries the 1300 GT marque to the right of the rear registration plate.</p></description>

History:
The Lockheed P-38 Lightning fighters flown by the USAAF 5th Air Force&#039;s 475th Fighter Group &#039;Satan&#039;s Angels&#039; were among the most visually striking aircraft of the Pacific Theatre, but their bold appearance masked a lethal combat effectiveness.&amp;nbsp;
With twin engines providing added security and concentrated nose-mounted firepower, the Lightning became a formidable adversary that Japanese pilots learnt to fear and respect. The 475th Fighter Group&#039;s success earned them the ominous nickname &#039;Bloody Butchers of Rabaul&#039; from their adversaries. &quot;Virginia Marie&quot; was delivered to the 433rd Fighter Squadron at Hollandia Airfield in early 1944, where she received her remarkable markings in an unconventional manner.&amp;nbsp;
According to pilot Carroll R. Anderson, the aircraft&#039;s striking scheme evolved progressively over several weeks, making liberal use of the squadron&#039;s medium blue identification colour. The final artistic touches were completed during the Group Commander&#039;s absence from base, allowing the dedicated ground crew to fully express their talents.&amp;nbsp;
Notably, &quot;Virginia Marie&quot; became the only Lightning in the 433rd Fighter Squadron to receive its complete intended paint scheme, making this aircraft a unique and celebrated example of wartime nose art and unit pride.

History:
Josef Jacobs&#039; journey from teenage aviation enthusiast to legendary fighter ace represents one of the most remarkable careers of the Great War. Learning to fly at just eighteen in 1912, he began the conflict as a motorcycle dispatch rider before his natural aptitude saw him transition to aerial reconnaissance.&amp;nbsp;
&amp;nbsp;
His studious nature and exceptional skill caught the attention of senior pilots, earning him a coveted position at the newly formed Fokkerstaffel West, where he became one of the world&#039;s first dedicated fighter pilots flying the revolutionary Fokker Eindecker series.
&amp;nbsp;
Jacobs spent longer in operational flying over the Western Front trenches than any other German pilot, facing every major Allied ace of the period. His distinguished career saw him eventually command Jagdstaffel 22, where he mastered the iconic Fokker Dr.1 triplane, achieving an unprecedented 30 victories in this aircraft alone, more than any other pilot.&amp;nbsp;
&amp;nbsp;
This Eindecker release perfectly complements the earlier Aviation Archive Fokker Dr.1 featuring Jacobs&#039; distinctive black triplane.By war&#039;s end, Jacobs had secured 48 confirmed victories, placing him joint quarter among German aces alongside Werner Voss, and earning him the prestigious Pour le Mérite, the legendary &#039;Blue Max&#039;. His legacy endures as a testament to skill, dedication and the dawn of aerial warfare.

<p>Bedford CF Hanlon Ambulance Merseyside Ambulance Service
The Bedford CF was a range of full size commercial vans produced by Bedford, the commercial division of Vauxhall, between 1969 and 1986, when it represented the last vehicle produced solely by Vauxhall. It was a very versatile model – a competitor to the Ford Transit – and was adapted widely due to its space and reliability. It was a particular favourite when configured as an ambulance with conversions being undertaken by specialised coach builders, including the Irish company Hanlon.&amp;nbsp; Such ambulances had coachbuilt bodies to accommodate the necessary headroom and interior capacity for patients and equipment.
The Oxford Diecast Bedford CF Hanlon Ambulance is registered B575 LKA, the year in which the CF featured modernised engines and transmission options. Our 1:76 scale replica is based on the vehicle used by the Merseyside Metropolitan Ambulance Service and appears in white with the red Day-Glo stripe running round the sides and across the rear doors. Black printing on the cab doors indicates the ambulance served Stockport and further exterior trim is finished in black or chrome while additional detail to the front radiator grille sees two blue lights between the chrome headlights.&amp;nbsp; The roof also has an air horn/siren painted red and two blue roof beacons. The side and rear windows have a blacked out effect surrounded by chrome.&amp;nbsp; And - on this model - note the single wheels on the rear chassis.

<p>Grumann Avenger White 83 USS Petrof Bay 1945
The Grumman Avenger was the British version of the American TBF-1 Avenger and the RAF used these under a lend-lease agreement.&amp;nbsp; However, our latest release is an Avenger that served with the US forces towards the end of WWII in combat with the Japanese in the Pacific. It was classed as a naval aircraft torpedo bomber and our 1:72 scale Grumman is a replica of the bomber flying with 76 Squadron from the aircraft carrier USS Petrof Bay. It comprised a single engine monoplane with capacity for up to a four-man crew.
The livery on this model is quite striking with its midnight blue and dark sea grey two-tone upper side and white underbody.&amp;nbsp; Graphics are in white, including a four leaf clover on the tail fin. The nose art features a provocative and colourful &amp;lsquo;Blopsy&amp;rsquo;. The Grumman&amp;rsquo;s offensive armament comprised two forward facing Browning machine guns and a further rear-facing defensive Browning machine gun in the turret.&amp;nbsp; These are faithfully reproduced on our model painted black.&amp;nbsp; Finite details also include the black propellers with their yellow tips, the rust finished exhaust pipes and the silver propeller hub/spinner.

<p>Ford Transit Mk.4 RAC
The Ford Transit Mk4 represented the 3rd generation of the vehicle in real life, spanning the years from 2000 to 2006.&amp;nbsp; This vehicle was different in that it had been designed in the USA and contained many cutting edge features; it came with automatic transmission; front or rear wheel drive; more cargo space and greater towing capacity. An option on rear wheel drive models included controls mounted on the dashboard, a specially adapted manual mode, tow-haul mode, economy mode and winter mode. All of these plus points would have made it an ideal vehicle for the RAC, whose key role is helping motorists in distress in all conditions and sometimes over difficult terrain.
Our model is registered VE03 GGZ from 2003 and is decorated in the ultra modern bright orange with red and white chevron back with a blue and white panel promoting the RAC. To the sides and front, the printed information is in white against the orange ground, as well as a dark blue and white panel masked along the sides. A notable feature is the clever way in which the offside front wing chevron decals have been printed over the curved surface – it is absolutely flush!&amp;nbsp; The van interior is moulded completely black. A final tooling modification on this release sees the addition of a roof bar positioned right at the back of the roof – authentic down to the final detail!

<p>Leyland Atlantean Open Top East Yorkshire NBC 904 932GTA
The well-known bus operator, Devon General, began operating regular open top bus tours of the Torbay area in the summer of 1955 using vehicles converted from conventional double deckers. However, in 1961 these were replaced by a fleet of nine specially built Leyland Atlanteans with Metro-Cammell bodies, each seating 75 passengers.
The nine were named after historical naval and maritime figures such as Sir Francis Drake and Sir John Hawkins, and soon earned the nickname &amp;lsquo;Sea Dogs&amp;rsquo;; a term Devon General even adopted for its own marketing. In their distinctive cream and red livery, they became a familiar sight on the 12A-12D routes serving Torquay, Paignton, Brixham, Babbacombe and Kingswear, and carried generations of holidaymakers for the next 20 years. They were built as convertibles, with detachable roofs, meaning that they could operate as normal double deckers during the low season.&amp;nbsp;
Upon nationalisation in 1969 Devon General became part of the new National Bus Company (NBC) but was amalgamated with the Western National Omnibus Company (itself part of the NBC) two years later. Under NBC the Sea Dogs were repainted into a poppy red and white livery, and also converted to one-man operation. They initially carried Devon General branding, but this was later superseded by Western National and other NBC liveries as their duties took them further afield into Cornwall and Dorset. Gradually their names disappeared too.
Withdrawal commenced in 1982, and the Sea Dogs went their separate ways, finding use in places including London, Lancashire, East Yorkshire and Glasgow.
Our model depicts registration 932GTA (originally &amp;lsquo;Earl Howe&amp;rsquo;) in its circa 1984 condition as working for East Yorkshire NBC in the Bridlington area. It is finished in NBC&amp;rsquo;s striking white and blue &amp;lsquo;venetian blind&amp;rsquo; livery, complete with East Yorkshire branding, fleet number 904 and the name &amp;lsquo;Belvedere Star&amp;rsquo;. The front blind carries a service 100 to Bridlington destination.
Like our 2025 &amp;lsquo;Sea Dogs&amp;rsquo;, the model comprises an amalgamation of new and refreshed tooling, with the enhanced lower deck benefiting from the addition of panel lines and mirrors. The upper deck is fitted with metal handrails around the top edge and has the original high position front route blind, while at the back that later style of engine bustle is fitted; the first time this combination has featured on an EFE Road &amp;lsquo;Sea Dog&amp;rsquo;.

<p>Range Rover Classic Velar, Tuscan Blue, 2 door (British Motor Museum)
It&amp;rsquo;s appropriate that the first model to be produced using CORGI Vanguards&amp;rsquo; new tooling for the original Range Rover is YVB 153H, chassis number 35500003A; effectively chassis number 3. This vehicle was the first Range Rover that came off the production line to the final production specification, and was one of 28 pre-production chassis, but only 27 bodyshells, as one driveable chassis was kept for development work.&amp;nbsp;
It was hand-finished ahead of the two earlier chassis numbers by 17th of December 1969, because photographer Alan Luckett wanted a blue car for launch photography. It also starred in the brilliantly titled dealership launch film, &amp;lsquo;A Car for All Reasons&amp;rsquo;. It was retained by Rover until early 1972 then sold to William Ellis Garages, Oswestry, and by the late 1980s was owned by Norwegian photographer Per Lochen.&amp;nbsp;
As the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust&amp;rsquo;s vehicle collection was growing in the early 1990s, ahead of their 1993 move to what is now the British Motor Museum at Gaydon, they realised they lacked an early Range Rover, and 153H was tracked down. In late 1991, a deal was struck with Lochen to acquire this historically important car, which by this time was in a poor state.&amp;nbsp;
It was restored to its original &amp;lsquo;launch&amp;rsquo; specification in 2006 by the Museum, and has since featured in anniversary displays, as well as TV programmes and magazine articles.

<p>Gloster Meteor F.Mk.8, WH480 &#039;M&#039;, RAF Biggin Hill, 1953
A man destined to achieve great things as a member of the Royal Air Force, Yorkshireman John &amp;lsquo;Dusty&amp;rsquo; Miller trained as a military pilot in America under the UK-US &amp;lsquo;Arnold&amp;rsquo; Scheme, showing himself to be so proficient that he was retained as a flight instructor. He eventually joined an operational RAF squadron flying Beaufighters in an anti-shipping strike role, but advanced his career significantly during the early years of jet aviation.&amp;nbsp;
Given command of No.41 Squadron at Biggin Hill, flying the Meteor jet from Summer 1951, his personal aircraft was one of the most colourful of that era, defending British airspace in style. Miller was one of the first RAF pilots forced to eject from his Meteor when a turbine blade failure caused an in-flight fire above Essex in April 1952. Once back flying, he continued his rise through the ranks.&amp;nbsp;
With his potential for senior rank, Miller was forced to turn his back on ten years of flying jet fighters to take command of a Vickers Valiant nuclear bomber squadron, as his seniors wanted to take him away from what he was expert in to broaden his service experience.&amp;nbsp;
During his time with the V-Bomber force, he was the officer responsible for introducing the Blue Steel air-launched nuclear stand-off missile into RAF service. When he left the RAF in 1969, he had achieved the rank of Air Commodore.
This Gloster Meteor F.Mk.8 is a wonderful tribute to John &#039;Dusty&#039; Miller, replicating the aircraft in excellent die-cast model form.

<p>The Morris Commercial J4 van was a 10 cwt (0.5 ton) forward control van which Morris Commercial launched in 1960. It quickly became the &amp;lsquo;go to&amp;rsquo; vehicle for deliveries due to its style and capacity. As a result it was a familiar sight on UK roads decorated in the likes of Royal Mail, British Rail, the Police as well as by smaller firms as a general utility vehicle.
Painted in a rich blue with no livery at all and so the effect focuses the eye on its styling. The silver exterior trim takes in the distinctive radiator grille, above which the Austin badge is printed in red on silver.&amp;nbsp; BMC of which Austin was also part, interchanged the Austin and Morris marques by using different badges, radiator grilles etc, one of which carried through to the J van as seen on this model.
Registered 2417 BP, this version has dark blue wheels to match the body colour while the interior is moulded in black with dark blue dashboard. The double doors at the back would have made loading and unloading easy and the two small back windows incorporate a glazed effect, adding even more realism.

<p>Austin Mini Metro - British School of Motoring
Oxford&amp;rsquo;s Austin Mini Metro adds a bit of variety to the mix with this latest BSM livery, a familiar sight on the 1980s roads. How many of we experienced drivers have had to exercise patience when behind one of these in its day?
Learner drivers of the 1980s would have found the Austin Mini Metro a very easy car to test their ability. It came as a 3-door hatchback - the subject of our Oxford tooling – or a 5 door model. The engine size was either a 1.0L or 1.3L with a 4-speed manual gearbox. The Mini Metro had front wheel drive and a top speed of 84 mph and if you were practising three point turns, reversing round corners or parking, it was very compact and easy to park, so was a particular favourite. The livery is pure nostalgia!
The bright red body colour has a wide blue and white flash along the sides incorporating an outline of the map of Great Britain with white BSM lettering beneath. The red roof features the BSM L Driver beacon while along the line of the boot is their famous slogan Every SEVEN minutes someone passes with BSM. The interior of the car is moulded in black and it is registered KWC 332Y from 1982. The British School of Motoring still exists today although now under the auspices of the Automobile Association, offering driving lessons and instructor training amongst other things.

<p>Ford Escort Mk2 RS1800 - Diamond White
The Cosworth BDA-powered RS1800 was a homologation special, produced so Escort Mk2s could enter international motorsport. It&amp;rsquo;s rare because Ford homologated it as an evolution of the similarly powered Mk1-based RS1600. Consequently, only 109 were built, all to order – 106 in white. All were converted to RS1800 specification in a small two-ramp workshop on Ford&amp;rsquo;s Aveley development site, Essex.
The first 20 were based on Halewood-built Sport bodyshells and are easily recognisable by their blue stripes, although at least three also had body-coloured rear spoilers. Later RS1800s were based on Saarlouis-built Mexicos. Ford retained the first two for PR work, but the car modelled is believed to be the first RS1800 sold to a customer.
It was registered in Northampton in July 1975, then exported to Malta in 1978 and allocated a new UK registration on return. The current owner, Perthshire-based Gary Wilson, acquired it in 2009 and traced its history with the help of then RSOC RS1800 Registrar, the late Dave Robinson. Dave proved it was the &#039;missing&#039; first RS1800, which enabled it to be returned to its original registration.
Gary spent ten years on a very detailed, complete restoration with expert Neil Arnold at Auto Restoration, Stockton-on-Tees. The finished article debuted at the RSOC&amp;rsquo;s Knockhill event in September 2021 and is considered the most perfect RS1800 extant.
It has since won many trophies, including Concours Car of the Show at the RSOC National Day, 28th August 2022.

<p>Ford Cortina Mk5 2.3 Ghia - Titan Blue
This Ford Cortina 2.3-litre V6 Ghia Auto 1:43 scale Vanguards model represents a car purchased new by Langcrest Construction, London, SW6, in May 1982.&amp;nbsp;
It remained registered as a company car until May 1990 when ownership was transferred to the private individual who had looked after it, Thadious Winston Bubb.He kept it until early 2006, a clear sign of his fondness for the car. The ninth and current keeper, Berkshire-based Stewart Liming, acquired the car from an owner on the Orkney Islands, Scotland, in March 2024.&amp;nbsp;
He bought it unseen because it was so far away, instead closely studying service history documents, videos and photographs provided by the seller.Stewart employed a transport company to bring the car south and was relieved when the driver greeted him by saying he&amp;rsquo;d not seen a Cortina as good for many years.&amp;nbsp;
All the owners have kept a detailed service history, showing that the recorded 36,000 miles is genuine, and its overall condition shows how well it has always been looked after.The car had been dry-stored prior to his purchase so Stewart has thoroughly recommissioned it and fitted original Ford specification S Pack Suspension to improve its handling, without ruining its period charm.&amp;nbsp;
He is a Cortina Mk4 and Mk5 enthusiast, having owned eight as a young man in the late 80s and early 90s, so is enjoying reliving his youth in this rare survivor.

<p>Sopwith Camel F.1 - B7190/C - &amp;lsquo;Donner Wetter!&amp;rsquo;
This 1:48 scale die-cast model release of the World War One Sopwith Camel plane replicates the beautiful livery of an early aviation ace. This Aviation Archive model features a rotating propeller and display stand.
We&amp;rsquo;ve only made 900 of these limited-edition Walter Hinchcliff Sopwith Camel F.1 die-cast models.
History
Liverpudlian Walter &amp;lsquo;Hinch&amp;rsquo; Hinchliffe began his military career with a British Army artillery unit, but in 1916, joined the Royal Naval Air Service. After training, he was posted to Cranwell as an instructor, where he clocked up an impressive 1,250 flight hours in 13 months of flying.
In January 1918, he joined No.10 Squadron. RNAS at Téteghem near Dunkirk, and scored his first victory in a Sopwith Camel on 3rd February 1918. As the commander of &amp;lsquo;C&amp;rsquo; Flight, Hinchliffe&amp;rsquo;s Sopwith Camel B7190 was one of the most distinctively presented aircraft of the squadron, with its blue and white detailing making it an attractive sight for Allied and Luftstreitkräfte pilots alike.
He used this aircraft to score his second and third victories in France, ending the war with six confirmed victories, confirming him as an ace pilot.
The spine of his aircraft carried a representation of the Liverpool coat of arms, and the wheel covers had little devils painted on them. The wording &amp;lsquo;Donner Wetter&amp;rsquo; painted on either side of the fuselage is German for &amp;lsquo;thunderstorm&amp;rsquo; – fitting for a pilot who enjoyed such a meteoric rise through service.
After the war, &amp;lsquo;Hinch&amp;rsquo; was persuaded to fly a wealthy heiress across the Atlantic, as she wanted to become the first woman to do so. Tragically, both aircraft and passengers were lost without trace during the attempt.

<p>Land Rover Defender LWB St. Wagon - British Gas&amp;nbsp;
Land Rover introduced the Defender in the early 1980s as a rugged, versatile four-wheel drive, all terrain vehicle which appeared as a car and also as a pickup truck. With cargo capacity for a wealth of equipment or baggage, the Defender could handle anything, which made it a great favourite in both military and civilian roles – many of which have preceded this latest release.
Registered E203 PWR from 1987, our long wheel base version is decorated in the eye-catching livery of British Gas at that time.&amp;nbsp; Representing British Gas North Eastern, as depicted on the cab doors, the body is white with royal blue lower body and roof and featuring fine lighter blue/aquamarine stripes along the waist.&amp;nbsp; The roof is enhanced with a silver spotlight and an orange roof beacon, both essential in some British Gas operating conditions, no doubt.
The interior is black and exterior trim features both black and silver finish. The matt black radiator grille has the Land Rover 110 name above in the centre while the spare wheel is fixed to the centre of the back door,
Oxford&#039;s 1:76 scale long wheelbase Defender British Gas North Eastern. Model comes on a plinth, with a clear lid and a Oxford Diecast wrap.

<p>Ford Transit Connect Stobart Air&amp;nbsp;
The Ford Motor Company boasts that every Transit is built for purpose and the smaller Ford Transit Connect is no exception with a large cargo capability lending itself to all sorts of commercial van users. Shaped by Ford kinetic design, the van has improved aerodynamics for greater fuel efficiency and high-tech lights for greater visibility. Component parts have also been designed for easy service and replacement.
The Eddie Stobart fleet goes from strength to strength in its expansion from road vehicles, then rail traffic and here we have a support vehicle for Stobart Air, which the company took over from the regional airline Aer Arann in Dublin and which operates numerous flights between Ireland, the UK and parts of Europe. Our highly decorative model in the shape of the very modern Ford Transit Connect is registered PK12 AZO. The bright blue graphics on a silver grey background show it as operating out of London Southend Airport. A central chequered band of blue and white runs the complete length of both sides and the blue and white colour scheme is repeated in a chevron effect across the back doors. The bonnet has been given solid blue finish.
Stobart Air operates from several small airports in the UK, so you may well see similar support vans in the vicinity of any of them. Our model also makes an unusual addition to your Eddie Stobart fleet of vehicles.

<p>Gloster Gladiator RAF 72 Sqn Church Fenton 1937
The Gloster Gladiator was a British built single seater biplane fighter manufactured by the Gloucestershire Aircraft Company.&amp;nbsp; It was used by the RAF and was also exported to a number of other air forces during the late 1930s.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Although a biplane, the Gladiator was very different from the older types.&amp;nbsp; It was powered by the 840hp British Mercury VIIIA 9-cylinder air-cooled radial engine; it had a top speed of 257 mph and accommodating four Browning 303 machine guns.&amp;nbsp;
RAF Church Fenton in Yorkshire was opened in April 1937 as a result of the RAF&amp;rsquo;s massive expansion programme and in response to the escalating military activity in Germany under Adolf Hitler. The station was intended as a fighter base to protect the North&amp;rsquo;s industrial cities and was home to both offensive and defensive squadrons as part of No. 13 Group, including No. 72 Squadron, who had been allocated the Gloster Gladiators.
Despite being one of the remaining survivors of a previous aviation era, the Gladiator was also one of the last Allied bi-planes to see service in WWII and its career in the conflict came to an end in May 1940, when it was superseded by the superior and more up to date Hurricane.&amp;nbsp; However, the Gladiator played an ongoing role in home based reconnaissance duties rather than active combat.
Our 1:72 scale replica of K6130 Gladiator Mk I is decorated in all over silver with red and blue markings. The RAF roundel features on the upper and lower wings as well as along the fuselage. Intricate detail includes rust brown exhaust pipe and lighter brown cowling edge. The tyres, guns and engine are black and the wheel hubs are finished in bright red.
K6130 was subsequently transferred overseas and on 18th July 1940 while flying over Egypt in cloud, the plane crashed into a hill, killing the RAF pilot and it was totally destroyed.

<p>Land Rover Discovery 4 - West Midlands Police
Our model Discovery 4, registered BX11 KHB, is based on the upgraded vehicle which Land Rover introduced in 2009, designed by their chief designer, Gerry McGovern. By 2011, the year of our model, Land Rover had introduced improvements, mostly mechanical with emphasis on engines and gearboxes, including an upgraded 3.0L engine – one TDV6 option and the second the SDV6 engine and with a further choice of GS or XS trim. The interior had also been upgraded with contemporary luxury and technological refinements.
Against this background, our 1:148 scale vehicle is a replica of that used by West Midlands Police who must have loved the high powered and comfortable Discovery. Decorated in white with the bright blue and yellow chequered sides, the white roof has the Police vehicle number printed in black to aid visibility from the air. The SDV6 GS marque is printed in silver on the back alongside the Land Rover badge. Note the West Midlands Police insignia on the rear side windows and also on the bonnet. Additional detailing on the bodywork includes the contemporary Crimestoppers 0800 telephone number, the orange and yellow POLICE markings under the rear window and the POLICE lightbar on the front of the roof sprayed silver and blue.

Vehicle information:
The ubiquitous 1:76 scale mobile trailer takes to the Highlands for its latest vending opportunity.&amp;nbsp;
Parked by the loch side, from where it takes its name, our trailer is registered LSC 23 and is distinctively decorated in white with orange roof and window shield, with a deep blue lower body. The orange carries through to the mudguards and tow bar mechanism. The equally brightly painted roof board advertises Monster-size Portions. Along the back of the van, the ever-elusive Monster features in a vivid green, yellow and red as it snakes through the dark blue painted water. On the hatch side, here he is again, this time surrounded by the graphics promoting big burgers, huge sausages, &amp;lsquo;loadsa seafood&amp;rsquo; and hot and cold drinks to wash it all down.&amp;nbsp; That creature certainly seems to have his eyes on something appetising.</p></description>

Vehicle information:
The Focus RS modelled was first registered on June 17th, 2017, by dealers Jennings Ford of Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire.
Since May 2023 it&#039;s been owned by its third keeper, Lynn Dumpleton, the editor of the RS Owners Club&#039;s magazine Rallye News, who lives in North Wales. Lynn is a lifelong fast Ford enthusiast and could not resist adding this low-mileage example of Ford&#039;s last petrol-powered RS to her collection.
The car was ordered with most of the available options including the Luxury Pack, which cost an extra &amp;pound;1000 on top of the retail price of &amp;pound;29,995 and included rear parking sensors, powerfold door mirrors, keyless entry, privacy glass, cruise control, and a speed limiter. The first owner also requested 19&amp;rdquo; black forged alloy wheels that cost an extra &amp;pound;595, shadow black premium paint, which cost an additional &amp;pound;525, and the Ford SYNC3 Nav System with 10 premium Sony Speakers, a sub-woofer and a rear camera, which was another &amp;pound;465.
The blue-painted brake callipers were a mere &amp;pound;100, and door edge protectors, at &amp;pound;85, completed the list. The only option left unticked was the Race Style RS Recaro shell seats, which would have cost an extra &amp;pound;1145 and reduced the car&#039;s practicality. Lynn enjoys taking the car to RSOC events and was particularly pleased to use it as the safety car on the club&#039;s anniversary parade lap of the Donnington Park race circuit during the 2023 RSOC National Day.</p></description>

Vehicle information:
When the development of project R40, as the Rover 75 was known internally, began in earnest at Longbridge, the mood was optimistic because, to joint-venture partner Honda&amp;rsquo;s surprise, BMW had purchased the company in February 1994. They injected the development cash the business had hitherto lacked. The resulting car was launched at the Birmingham Motor Show on October 20th, 1998 and was praised for its elegant exterior design by stylist Richard Woolley and very British interior ambience.
Production commenced at Cowley, Oxfordshire, but when BMW sold the company in May 2000 it was moved to Longbridge. The 75 remained in production until 2005 by which time 211,175 had been produced. The automatic 2.5-litre V6 Rover 75 modelled was sold new by MG-Rover dealers Vantage-Preston and was first registered in July 2005, just three months after the Longbridge-based company went into administration.&amp;nbsp;
It features the later-revised bumpers, grille and single-light facelifted nose treatment launched in 2004, which gave the 75 a more modern look, although it cleverly used the same lamp base units with a new single lens on top. Since November 2022, it has been owned by Greater Manchester-based Rover 75 enthusiast Tim Hubbard, who bought it because it showed a genuine 87,000 miles and was in very good overall condition. The 75 and its MG-badged ZT cousin have now acquired a strong following in the classic car world and values are increasing.</p></description>

Vehicle information:
British Leyland introduced the Mini Metro in 1980, with a view to it being a possible successor to the popular and highly acclaimed Mini.&amp;nbsp; Known initially as the Austin Mini Metro, as time went on with vehicle manufacturer mergers and takeovers, it became popularly known as simply the Metro.&amp;nbsp; Designed by David Bache and Harris Mann, the Metro was assembled at the Longbridge plant and came as a 3-door/5door hatchback with front wheel drive, a four speed gearbox and engine options from 1.0L&amp;nbsp; to 1.3L.Top speed was 84 mph.for the basic model. With a length of 3,400 mm and a width of 2,250 mm and boasting a spacious interior, it was particularly popular for use in the city too.&amp;nbsp; The price was pretty attractive as well. You could buy a new Austin Mini Metro&amp;nbsp; basic 1.0L model for &amp;pound;3,095.
The Metro was revealed over a 3-week period in September 1980 but not at the British Motor Show, where it made its official public debut later.&amp;nbsp; British Leyland chose to sail from Liverpool to The Isle of Man aboard a cruise ship which proved highly newsworthy and attracted huge attention from prospective buyers from the car trade, who took advantage of this unique opportunity to view and buy the acclaimed vehicle.
The Austin Mini Metro was popularised to a notable extent by one famous purchaser of the early version.&amp;nbsp; The 19 year old Lady Diana Spencer bought one at the time when she was attracting a great deal of attention prior to her marriage to the then Prince Charles.&amp;nbsp; Registered MPB 909W from 1980/81, it is Lady Diana&amp;rsquo;s Metro that Oxford has chosen to launch this new model.
Decorated in the ruby red Emberlow colour scheme, Our Austin Mini Metro is based on the 3-door version.&amp;nbsp; The exterior features a fine double white stripe along the waist of the car, with a similar black stripe below.&amp;nbsp; The majority of the exterior trim is black including the distinctive radiator grille. which also has the squared off headlights embedded into it with the Austin blue badge in the centre.&amp;nbsp; To the rear the Austin mini Metro signage is printed in silver along the lower edge of the boot.
The Austin Mini Metro was the best selling mini-car in its early production days and was voted Car of the Year in 1983.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;During its 18-year production span, the Metro clocked up over 2 million sales. However, it is a very rare sight today.</p></description>

Vehicle information and history:
The history of Western Scottish Bus Company can be traced back to 1929, when the Scottish General Transport Co. Ltd was renamed Western Scottish Motor Traction Co. Ltd. The company was formed as a result of the 1930 Road Traffic Act, which encouraged the consolidation of bus companies into larger groups.
Western Scottish quickly became the largest bus operator in south west Scotland, with depots in Kilmarnock, Ayr, Cumnock, Girvan, Stranraer, Dumfries, Annan, Ardrossan, Carlisle, and Whithorn. The company operated a wide range of services, including local bus services, interurban connections, and cross-border journeys into north west England.
In 1949, Western Scottish was nationalised and became part of the Scottish Bus Group. In 1985, in preparation for privatisation, the company was split into Clydeside Scottish and Western Scottish.
Western Scottish was privatised in 1994 and was purchased by Stagecoach Group. The company was renamed Stagecoach Western Scottish and adopted the corporate Stagecoach white with red, blue and orange stripes livery.
Stagecoach Western Scottish continued to expand its operations, purchasing Arran Transport in 1994 and A1 Service in 1995. The company also opened new depots in Brodick on the Isle of Arran and Dunoon in Argyll.
In 2006, Stagecoach Western Scottish was merged with Stagecoach Strathtay to form Stagecoach West Scotland. The new company operates a fleet of over 1,000 buses and employs over 2,000 people.
Today, Stagecoach West Scotland is one of the largest bus operators in Scotland, providing essential local bus services to communities across south west Scotland. The company also operates a number of intercity and express services, connecting towns and cities across Scotland and England.
The Alexander M Type was a single-deck coach built by Alexander Bus Builders in Falkirk, Scotland in the early 1970s. It was developed for use by the Scottish Bus Group on its growing Anglo-Scottish motorway express services.
The M Type was a popular choice with the Scottish Bus Group and other operators, and over 1,000 were built between 1974 and 1980. It was used on a wide range of services, including express services, long-distance tours and charter work.
The M Type was gradually withdrawn from service in the early 1990s, as it was replaced by newer and more modern coaches.</p></description>

<p>Tricycle Van - Pickfords
The second release on this unusual three wheeler van, is Pickfords, the internationally renowned removal and storage company colour scheme of midnight blue and white, which is bound to appeal to collectors of the Pickford fleet past and present.
Our Oxford tricycle, registered BWB 39, is as working out of Waingate in Sheffield as a Parcel Express Service delivery vehicle. The Pickfords colour scheme is relieved by white lettering on both sides, silver coachlines and black wheels, wheel arches and mudflaps. The interior is also black, including the steering wheel. Red masking has been used to depict rear lights at the four corners - top and bottom of the back doors, which also incorporate two porthole style windows. A final detail comprises the fleet number M.1596 on the sides in front of the rear wheel. This Pickfords van is an interesting addition to the Oxford fleet of 1:76 scale commercial vehicles.

<p>Captain Scarlet (Classic) Angel Interceptor
The Angel Interceptor is a single seater strike aircraft developed by International Engineering from the World Army Air Force &#039;Viper&#039; Jet, but the final blueprint of the Angel is vastly different from the original Viper, having been specially adapted for Cloudbase requirements. 60 ft (18.29 m) long, precision engineered, the plane is incredibly compact, carrying extra electronic instruments and mammoth fuel tanks which enable the aircraft to complete any mission without refuelling.
Three Angel Interceptors are always positioned on the aerial launch platform on Cloudbase ready for immediate take-off. Entry to the cockpit is by hydraulic lift from the Cloudbase Amber Room up through the hull of the craft, such that the pilot is ejected into the cockpit complete with her seat. Instruments and gunsights are arranged within easy view of the pilot, who has all-round visibility. The craft is equipped with a flight computer auto-pilot fitted behind the pilot&#039;s seat.
&amp;nbsp;
Includes:
- Detailed diecast model with plastic parts
- Cockpit detail includes Angel Pilot
- Spectrum symbols on plane sides and wings
- Exclusive packaging with facts about the aircraft
- Fit the box scale</p></description>

Vehicle information and history:
The 1:76 scale the model is based on the vehicle which Land Rover produced at the Solihull plant between 1989 and 1998. Registered F981 ENV from 1998, ours is representative of the last year of manufacture.
In real life, the Discovery 1 followed some of the finer features of the Range Rover with the same chassis, suspension and 4 wheel drive system. It was designed, however, at a more affordable price point so it came with smaller engine sizes and initially a three door option. It was also the first Land Rover aimed at the daily driving family market whilst still maintaining the off road facility. In addition, it provided more luggage space and was the only model with a 4 cylinder petrol engine option as well as the diesel alternative. The Discovery 1 came with either a 4-speed automatic or 5-speed manual gearbox
Another innovative feature was the interior for which Land Rover engaged the help of the Conran Design Group.&amp;nbsp; The result was a uniform interior colour scheme regardless of exterior paintwork, comprising a signature Sonar Blue to seats and carpet. The car also featured magazine holders above the windscreen, hand-holds for rear passengers built into the front seat head rests, new radio controls on the instrument cluster, two removable sunroof panels and a Land Rover branded cloth fabric holdall in the front centre console for storage. This unique &amp;lsquo;bag&amp;rsquo; could be removed and with a detachable shoulder strap could be used as a fashion accessory.&amp;nbsp; A collector&amp;rsquo;s item in itself!
The remainder of the interior and dashboard features of the Discovery 1 were taken from the existing Rover Group stable, including the instrument panel, digital clock, heater and air conditioning controls. A nod to nostalgia comprised the distinctive Morris Marina door handles.
Our 1:76 scale model incorporates all the fine visual features of the original. The interior replicates the authentic Sonar Blue, enhanced with a Sonar Grey dashboard, steering wheel and door panels. Additional interior features include black floor mats, grey interior door handles, gearstick and hand brake.
The exterior bodywork is a metallic red colour scheme with black and silver trim. Side body and rear window flashes are finished in grey, silver and a fine blue stripe.&amp;nbsp; Detailed roof bars, rear mud flaps, wheel centres and bolts are all black. The spare wheel appears fixed off centre on the rear full width door to the right of the&amp;nbsp; number plate.
The Discovery 1 retained the chunky utility vehicle function for which Land Rover was historically renowned, while incorporating many refinements aimed at comfort and economy in an ever competitive automotive world.

<p>Living Van - Pickfords
Think removals and storage and the Pickfords name comes to the fore.&amp;nbsp; The UK Company&amp;rsquo;s history goes back as far as the 17th Century.&amp;nbsp; The corporate dark blue and white colour scheme has proved a favourite for diecast collectors over the years and this living wagon, only the second release on Oxford&amp;rsquo;s 1:148 scale model, will provide an interesting addition to any Pickford&amp;rsquo;s fleet. The bright red wheels and chassis are in sharp contrast to the rich midnight blue body with its white Pickfords lettering.&amp;nbsp; Finishing touches include a black tow hook, a tan ladder across the back of the wagon and even the minute detail of a silver door handle is not overlooked.

Vehicle Information:
The Ford Ranger Raptor was developed by Ford Performance, a division of Ford famous for developing cars wearing the legendary RS badge. It mixes the tough go-anywhere ability of other models in the Ranger line up with the kind of performance and driving pleasure that appeals to the enthusiast. It&amp;rsquo;s powered by a 2-litre Bi-Turbo Ford EcoBlue diesel developing a mighty 500 Nm of torque, which is distributed to the Ranger&amp;rsquo;s four-wheel drive system via a 10-speed automatic transmission, so it&amp;rsquo;s always in the right gear at the right time. The race-bred off-road FOX Pro suspension is designed to tackle fearsome terrain with ease while leaving the occupants in comfort.
The Raptor modelled was one of the first built and was retained by Ford of Britain for press and publicity duties. It has featured in many TV programmes including the BBC&amp;rsquo;s Top Gear, Dream Jobs with Chris Hoy on Motor Trend and Amazon&amp;rsquo;s The Grand Tour, where it was used as a support vehicle. It was also road tested by numerous magazines including CAR, Parkers, Auto Express, What Car and Company Van Today. Additionally, it has been widely used by the Ford Press team for various events including The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders test drive days which are attended by both journalists and industry figures. It was a key vehicle in Ford of Britain&amp;rsquo;s Press Launch for the New Ranger in 2019.</p></description>

Vehicle information and history:
The AEC 690 cab is based on the original vehicle launched at Earl&amp;rsquo;s Court in 1959 and was produced until 1969.&amp;nbsp; Both the cab and the chassis had been previously developed by Thornycroft who AEC acquired in the early 1960s. Over the years, the updated 690 was re-badged, re-bodied and&amp;nbsp; equipped with different engines, all part of AEC&amp;rsquo;s new vehicle programme. Like many AEC heavy duty transport vehicles, it was also used extensively by the British military.
It was manufactured with an all-steel full-width cab resiliently mounted with easy access steps on both sides. It had a lined interior and flat two-piece reverse sloping windscreen, counter-balanced drop door windows, rear view quarter and central windows and adjustable driver&amp;rsquo;s seat. Cab equipment included twin windscreen wipers, two large rear view mirrors, an efficient heater/demister unit and a tool box.</p></description>

Vehicle information and history:
Ford Custom Van in pristine white – a must for all lightweight commercial van enthusiasts, for whom the ubiquitous white van is a necessity.
&amp;nbsp;In real life, the Custom was launched at the 2012 Commercial Vehicle Show in Birmingham, when it was classed as a mid-size front wheel drive vehicle, a smaller version of the Ford Transit Mk 8. Still in production today, the original 2.2 turbo diesel powered van is now available as a plug in hybrid version powered by a Ford Ecoboost petrol engine and a 13.6kWh electric battery. As with other Ford Transit models, there is a choice of two chassis lengths and two roof heights as well as being easily adapted for cargo and passenger use. There is also the choice of a 6-speed manual or automatic gearbox. Since its introduction, the Ford Custom van, with its characteristic wedge-shaped sloping bonnet, has seen one or two upgrades in its recent history. Our model is based on the original and is registered MA16 XLV from 2016.
&amp;nbsp;It simplicity emphasises the detailed tooling elements of the model, which features contrasting black trim to wheels, radiator grille and bumpers and the familiar Ford badge finished in blue and silver.&amp;nbsp; The interior is moulded in a contrasting dark grey.

Vehicle information and history:
From its launch in 1981 right up the present day, the Ford Cargo has been the perfect box van for deliveries, truck rentals, small removals and the like, taking advantage of its solidity, roomy storage and ease of loading and unloading. Here we see it as used by Royal Mail&#039;s Parcelforce Division, registered J984 NVM from 1991/92, featuring their corporate identity of the day together with compass in blue and white dropped shadow on the red truck body. The name, telephone number and slogan &#039;The Power to Deliver&#039; are all printed across the back doors with external trim finished in black.</p></description>
