<p>JCB 3CX Eco Backhoe Loader JCB (1:76)
JCB promote the JCB 3CX Loader as the world&#039;s leading backhoe loader behind their JCB 4CX. They boast it as the product of their efficient design philosophy responding to rising fuel prices and environmental concerns. Their innovative technologies have developed a vehicle with class-leading efficiency and low running costs. As they say themselves - squeezing the absolute maximum out of every drop of fuel! As a result, in typical roading, loading, excavating and idle cycles, the 3CX JCB backhoe loader, equipped with a powerful Ecomax engine, delivers an average fuel saving of up to 16%, plus lower emissions and noise levels. As well as the environmental benefits, the JCB 3CX features a brand new engine, more torque than rival vehicles, new electronic engine management system and new powerslide for faster, easier repositioning.
The detailed components of the &#039;real thing&#039; are realistically produced on our Oxford model which appears in the JCB corporate yellow and black colour scheme. The forward body, lifting arms and wheel centres are all yellow with cab, chassis, buckets and interior appearing in black. A flash of colour sees the side piston tubes painted red alongside silver exhaust pipes and headlights. Rounding off this finely engineered vehicle, we see the JCB and 3CX logos printed boldly on the body lifting arms. Let&#039;s get digging!</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>James Bond 007 &#039;On Her Majesty&#039;s Secret Service&#039; Aston Martin DBS&amp;nbsp;
The first new Aston Martin driven by James Bond since the debut of the DB5 is the Aston Martin DBS in On Her Majesty&amp;rsquo;s Secret Service. Other than a telescopic rifle concealed in the glove compartment, this car is gadget free.
Designed and built as the successor to the Aston Martin DB6, the DBS was introduced in 1967. While deviating from the more classic look of previous Aston Martin cars, the DBS featured trademark design aspects such as the bonnet scoop, wire wheels, and side air vents with a stainless-steel bridge that were synonymous with earlier vehicles from the manufacturer.&amp;nbsp;
Though this incarnation of the DBS was retired in 1972, the name has since been resurrected twice by Aston Martin on a model produced between 2007 and 2012, and a brand-new incarnation that is available now.

<p>Douglas™ AC-47 Gunship 43-49770 &#039;Spooky 71&#039; Vietnam 1969 (1:72)
&amp;nbsp;
In the dark night skies over Vietnam, a terrifying new weapon had been introduced by American forces trying to protect their troops on the ground, a combination of older aeroplanes and cutting edge technology that resulted in the creation of fire spewing dragons capable of laying down 6,000 rounds of suppressing fire every minute.&amp;nbsp;
The venerable Douglas C-47 Skytrain had been modified to become one of the most feared weapons of the conflict, however, &amp;lsquo;Spooky&amp;rsquo; crews wouldn&amp;rsquo;t always have it their own way.
On the night of 24th February 1969, the crew of gunship 43-49770 &amp;lsquo;Spooky 71&amp;rsquo; had been called to provide fire support for troop under attack at Long Binh, but whilst doing so, their aircraft had taken a direct mortar round hit in the right wing, resulting in a gaping hole and the aircraft being peppered with 3,500 shrapnel holes.&amp;nbsp;
The aircraft lurched violently and the fire crew were thrown off their feet, all suffering from multiple shrapnel wounds. Bleeding profusely, Airman First Class John Levitow could see one of his crewmates was in danger of falling out of the open cargo door, and fought through the pain of his wounds to drag him to a safer position.&amp;nbsp;
Unfortunately, he also saw that the flare his colleague had been trying to throw out of the aircraft prior to the mortar hit had blown back into the cabin and was smoking, about to detonate. He threw his body on top of the flare and slowly ushered it towards the open door using his last reserves of strength, rolling it into the night sky seconds before it detonated.&amp;nbsp;
For his heroic, selfless actions which saved both his aircraft and crewmates, John Levitow was rightfully awarded the Medal of Honor. Despite the drama and devastation in the night sky above the Long Binh US Army post, the aircraft did manage to make it back to its home base safely, where ground crews were able to assess the damage from the mortar strike, and count every one of the 3,500 shrapnel holes which peppered the wings and fuselage of the aircraft.</p></description>

<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>Vauxhall Astra Mk2 GTE 16V, Rembrandt Silver (1:43)
Product Information:
The GTE 16V modelled was originally registered as a &amp;lsquo;Vauxhall Fleet Management&amp;rsquo; car with Vauxhall Motors Ltd, Kimpton Road, Luton, Bedfordshire on 29th November 1990. It was finished in Rembrandt Silver, one of the more unusual colours offered.&amp;nbsp;
Like all 16V GTE&amp;rsquo;s, it featured GM&amp;rsquo;s futuristic Liquid Crystal Display dashboard so drivers could see the revs rapidly rising on the car&amp;rsquo;s magnificent 2-litre DOHC 16-valve &amp;lsquo;red top&amp;rsquo; engine, a characterful rev-hungry unit that gave the GTE its appealingly raucous demeanour.&amp;nbsp;
It went on to owners based in Kent, Dorset, County Durham, and Bedfordshire, before being purchased by Bedfordshire-based enthusiast, Lee Proctor, a former Vauxhall employee and subsequent car bodyshop proprietor, in late March 2013.
The car had covered 125,000 miles and was complete, but in poor condition. It was bought by Lee as a restoration project, and he soon embarked on a three-year nut-and-bolt structural and mechanical rebuild to concours standard, in which he used as many new old-stock original parts as possible.&amp;nbsp;
He did most of the work himself, bringing the car back to original specification except for the fitting of an &amp;lsquo;Astra Champion&amp;rsquo; leather interior, which he had retrimmed. Lee enjoyed driving and showing the finished car, but in November 2020 he sold it to fellow enthusiast and Mk2 Astra Owners Club member, Derbyshire-based Clive Emery.&amp;nbsp;
He has added some original equipment finishing touches and enjoys using it to attend classic car events.
This die-cast model represents this car in its restored condition, making it a delightful addition to your Vanguards collection.</p></description>

<p>Leyland Atlantean Open Top Devon General Gift Set
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.
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.
This special twin pack is the third special gift set produced under the EFE Road banner and celebrates the golden era of the &amp;lsquo;Sea Dogs&amp;rsquo; with two of the vehicles in the popular Devon General cream livery with red bands. The first of these is registration 932GTA &amp;lsquo;Earl Howe&amp;rsquo;, which is depicted in its original operating condition, sporting the cream coloured wheels that the type entered service with. As fleet number DL932, it is presented as working service 12D to Babbacombe.
The second vehicle in the gift set is classmate 930GTA &amp;lsquo;Sir John Hawkins&amp;rsquo;, which differs from &amp;lsquo;Earl Howe&amp;rsquo; in having red wheels and lifeguards; a change made early on by Devon General owing to the dirt build-up on the original cream wheels. The model also represents the dropping of the DL prefix to the fleet numbers, simply being number 930, and working service 12C to Kingswear.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
Like our 2025 &amp;lsquo;Sea Dogs&amp;rsquo;, the models comprise an amalgamation of new and refreshed tooling, with the enhanced lower decks benefiting from the addition of panel lines and round mirrors for the first time. The upper decks are fitted with metal handrails around the top edge and have the original high position front route blind; the first time these have featured on an EFE Road &amp;lsquo;Sea Dog&amp;rsquo;.
The gift set comes with a reproduction of the original Devon General &amp;lsquo;Sea Dog&amp;rsquo; information brochure that was printed to coincide with the launch of the fleet into traffic.

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>Range Rover Classic, Lincoln Green, 4 door
Rover built a four-door prototype Range Rover in 1972, but British Leyland&amp;rsquo;s finances ensured it was never produced, although various specialists offered four-door conversions. After the success of the first two-door &amp;ldquo;In Vogue&amp;rdquo;, it became obvious that the utilitarian Range Rover could be moved upmarket, and a four-door model was announced in June 1981.&amp;nbsp;
To publicise this, and the newly available automatic transmission, Rover launched the limited edition four-door automatic &amp;lsquo;In Vogue&amp;rsquo; Series 2 in August 1982, which was only available in Sierra Silver or Nevada Gold. Only 250 of each colour were made, and they all featured alloy wheels, distinctive graphics, a branded cool box, wooden door cappings, and a Philips stereo.
This example was completed on 21st July 1982 and immediately dispatched to Skinners Motors Ltd, St Leonards-on-Sea, East Sussex. It was displayed in the dealership before first owner, Kent-based farmer Mr Cooper, took ownership until New Year&amp;rsquo;s Day 1983. He paid Skinners&amp;rsquo; subsidiary, Bexhill Motors, &amp;pound;16,000 for his 17th Range Rover. He&amp;rsquo;d bought his first in 1970, then ordered a new one annually.
This was, however, his retirement car, so he rust-proofed it, serviced it on his four-post ramp, and retained all the accessories and paperwork. It was purchased by &amp;lsquo;The Dunsfold Collection&amp;rsquo; of Land Rover related vehicles in November 2010, and remains in excellent original condition, wearing its 80,000 miles lightly.&amp;nbsp;
It has appeared in many TV programmes, magazine articles and live events, and now it is immortalised in die-cast form. Purchase your Range Rover &amp;ldquo;In Vogue&amp;rdquo;, Automatic (Series 2), Nevada Gold die-cast model today.

<p>Ford Fiesta Mk2 1.1L, Citrine Yellow
The Fiesta modelled was supplied new by Ford main dealers Gilbert Rice Ltd, Sussex, and first registered on 31st January 1986. Its first four owners looked after it very well and used it sparingly. In the summer of 2016, it was offered for sale by well-known classic car dealers KGF Classic Cars, having covered 40,679 miles.&amp;nbsp;
The mileage was confirmed by an accompanying history file containing a brochure, invoices and previous MOT certificates, as well as the original service wallet and handbook. Remarkably, the car&amp;rsquo;s grey &amp;lsquo;Fife&amp;rsquo; trim was perfect, and it also still boasted its original dealership-stamped number plates, which is unusual as these often get damaged in low-speed parking incidents.
It was purchased on 26th July 2016 by lifelong Mk2 Fiesta enthusiast Christian &amp;lsquo;Bisty&amp;rsquo; Dann, a restaurateur from Cornwall who has grown up in a family that are passionate about classic cars. He christened her &amp;lsquo;Geraldine&amp;rsquo; and created a popular TikTok account called &amp;lsquo;geraldinethefiesta&amp;rsquo;, which features films about Geraldine&amp;rsquo;s adventures in Cornwall and Bisty&amp;rsquo;s other classic, an American-built 1974 GMC van he uses to offer grilled cheese delicacies to the people of Falmouth.&amp;nbsp;
In 2020, Geraldine needed some welding to pass her MOT and Bisty decided to have new sills fitted on both sides by local specialist Perranwell Garage, who also carried out some major engine work and various other jobs in order to make her as good as new in every respect.

This die-cast model is based on one of the oldest surviving UK-market examples of an RS2000, which was manufactured in Saarlouis, Germany, in December 1975. The first owner was Mike Collins, then RAF personnel, based at RAF Dishforth, Thirsk, North Yorkshire. He purchased it from the Ford RS dealership, Polar Service Garage, Barnsley on 12th January 1976, then registered it the following day.&amp;nbsp;
It had ten further owners before the current custodian, well known North Wales-based Ford enthusiast Aled Hopwood, purchased it on 7th June 1996. He wasn&amp;rsquo;t initially aware of its rarity but was captivated by it and has amassed a comprehensive history file containing all the previous MOTs and tax discs, plus a list of previous owners.
The car had covered 73,000 miles and was in excellent condition, and Aled enjoyed using it on several European tours, as well as the North Wales Snowdonia Tours and Lakes Tours. It was featured extensively in the book &amp;lsquo;Factory-Original Sporting Mk2 Escorts&amp;rsquo;, by Dan Williamson, with many detailed photographs of the car by Simon Clay being included in the RS2000 chapter. It has also appeared in Classic Ford Magazine.&amp;nbsp;
In the summer of 2021, Aled embarked on a nut-and-bolt restoration to as-new condition. He returned the underside to its original dove grey paint before having it fully resprayed, although all the original panels and Beta Cloth interior were retained.&amp;nbsp;
Aled proudly showed the finished car at the 2021 NEC Classic Motor Show.</p></description>

<p>Panavia Tornado GR1A, ZA371/C, Norway, 1995
Tracing its lineage back to the formation of the Royal Flying Corps at Farnborough in May 1912, No.II(AC) Squadron is the most senior squadron in the current Royal Air Force. It also has the honour of being the first fixed-wing aircraft unit anywhere in the world. The first British unit to cross the Channel to operate in France at the start of the Great War, &amp;lsquo;Shiny Two&amp;rsquo; became specialist in the role of aerial Army cooperation flying and aerial reconnaissance.&amp;nbsp;
The Unit served throughout the Cold War period, operating a variety of classic aircraft types, including the Hawker Hunter, McDonnell Douglas Phantom and SEPECAT Jaguar. It began an impressive 27-year association with the Panavia Tornado from the end of 1988, only broken when they exchanged their aircraft for Eurofighter Typhoons. During that period, the most strikingly presented Tornados were those benefitting from a temporary winter camouflage scheme in support of their deployment to Norway on Arctic operations.
These combined defence and readiness exercises saw various aircraft types from different nations regularly coming together to test their capabilities in meeting the threat posed by Eastern Bloc forces in the high north of Europe, a show of strength to deter any thoughts of aggression.&amp;nbsp;
The GR.1A variant of the Tornado was a dedicated reconnaissance platform, made up of 16 converted GR.1 airframes and 14 newly constructed aircraft.
This 1:48 scale Aviation Archive die-cast model replicates the Panavia Tornado in high detail, making it perfect for an aviation collector.

<p>Star Trek - USS Enterprise NCC-1701-A [Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country]
After stealing the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 to rescue Captain Spock and then ordering the starship&#039;s destruction in the process, Admiral James T. Kirk and his command crew faced court martial. Their actions in saving planet Earth from destruction by an alien probe saw them largely exonerated of the most serious charges, with Kirk&amp;rsquo;s &amp;lsquo;punishment&amp;rsquo; being a demotion back to the rank of Captain and command of a starship.&amp;nbsp;
Expecting to be assigned to the U.S.S. Excelsior NCC-2000, the crew were instead delighted and surprised to find themselves aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-A. Her shakedown cruise led to the need for repairs back at Earth, but before completion, the ship was urgently sent out to resolve a hostage situation on Nimbus III.&amp;nbsp;
It emerged this was a ruse by Sybok, Spock&amp;rsquo;s Vulcan half-brother, to hijack a starship and take it to the centre of the galaxy to find the mythic planet Sha Ka Ree and the potentially divine presence that inhabited it. This turned out to be hostile, to Sybok&amp;rsquo;s cost.
By 2293, the Enterprise-A was due for retirement, in part thanks to the success of the Excelsior-class. Her final mission occurred when the energy-producing Klingon moon of Praxis suddenly exploded, leading to a crisis within the Empire and the unexpected offer of peace talks.&amp;nbsp;
Kirk and his crew were chosen to mediate thanks to the involvement of Captain Spock, and despite attempts by a conspiracy to derail any chance of peace, the Enterprise was instrumental in the signing of the Khitomer Accords and the eventual alliance between the Federation and Klingon Empire.&amp;nbsp;
The Enterprise-A was later preserved at the Starfleet Museum in tribute to the legacy of James T. Kirk and his illustrious crew. Her successor, the Excelsior-class U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-B, was launched later in 2293.
Trekkers will love this version of the USS Enterprise, in highly detailed, die-cast model form. A must-have model for your Star Trek collection.</p></description>

Information:&amp;nbsp;
The Curtiss P-40 Warhawk was an all metal, single-engine, single-seat fighter and ground-attack aircraft that made its maiden flight in 1938. Since the P-40 was a modified P-36 Hawk it was developed quickly and entered service in record time. The USAAF referred to the aircraft as the Warhawk while the British Commonwealth and the Soviet Union called the B and C variants Tomahawk while the D and later variants were called Kittyhawk. By the end of production in 1944 approximately 18,000 aircraft were manufactured.</p></description>

<p>Land Rover Series I 80&quot; - Light Green (Weathered)
Rover launched the Land Rover at the 1948 Amsterdam Motor Show. They displayed three examples: one indoors on the stand, and two outside demonstrating the new machine&amp;rsquo;s remarkable abilities. All three were pre-production prototypes; different in detail specification to what emerged when production commenced.
The vehicle modelled was one of the demonstrators, although it was then left-hand drive. After the show, it was allocated to Jack Swain&amp;rsquo;s Engine Department, converted to right-hand drive and used to test engine updates. It was retained by Rover, driven on trade plates, until 1955 when it was sold to a local buyer, Mr Smith, and given the Solihull number plate SNX 910.
Thereafter, L07 had numerous owners in the Midlands and lived in Alvechurch Worcestershire for 20 years from 1968. By 2016, it was back in Solihull, sunk up to its axles in mud, awaiting a restoration. The owner offered L07 and another Series 1 to a Land Rover specialist. A friend of his spotted some of the unique prototype features in the pictures he showed him, and it was acquired by Jaguar Land Rover Classic in 2017. They were amazed by how original the vehicle was, and displayed it at Mell Square, Solihull, as part of Land Rover&amp;rsquo;s 70th anniversary celebrations.
It was then mechanically restored by JLR Classic, who left the bodywork in its patinated state as it tells the vehicle&amp;rsquo;s incredible story.

<p>Ford Sierra Sapphire RS Cosworth 4x4 - Mallard Green
The Vanguards 1:43 scale Ford Sierra Sapphire Cosworth modelled replicates the last UK-spec right-hand drive example to leave the production line, and the only one painted in Mallard Green – facts confirmed in the car&amp;rsquo;s extensive history file by a letter from the Operations Manager at Ford Genk, Belgium.
It was delivered new on 2nd March 1993 to a Mr Gambling, who kept it until the 3rd August 1993, when he sold it to Ford dealers Fordthorne, Cardiff. They retained the car until 2009, servicing it regularly, before selling it to renowned enthusiast and collector, Mark Bailey, owner of the &amp;lsquo;BonkeRS Collection&amp;rsquo; of fast Fords that was featured on the PistonHeads website in 2011.
Mark Bailey offered the car for sale in the auction at the 2015 NEC Classic Car show. It was purchased by another well-known fast Ford collector, Gideon Mayers, to be part of his &amp;lsquo;Cheshire Collection&amp;rsquo;.
He exhibited it in the Pride of Ownership section of the 2021 NEC Classic Car Show, where it was much admired because of its condition and unique history. He reluctantly offered it for sale as part of the Iconic Auctioneers sale at the 2023 NEC Classic Car Show. It had still covered fewer than 22,000 miles and was in perfect, unmodified condition.
It was purchased by the current owner, a collector and enthusiast who prefers to remain anonymous.

<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.

Vehicle information:
The majority of 4.2-litre Series 1 Jaguar XJ6s produced were fitted with an automatic gearbox, but the example modelled utilizes the rarer manual overdrive (MOD) gearbox and came off Jaguar&#039;s assembly line at Browns Lane, Coventry, on May 17th, 1972. The first listed owner was Jaguar&#039;s Personal Export Division.&amp;nbsp;
They registered the car in Coventry purely so it could be officially exported to the largest of the Canary Islands, Tenerife, where the British gentleman who had ordered it, Mr I. E. Lloyd, was then based. Mr Lloyd specified Sundym glass to make the car more comfortable in the warm climate and regularly drove it back to the UK for servicing.&amp;nbsp;
Mr Lloyd evidently enjoyed the car as he covered 50,000 miles in it and kept it until the late 1980s, by which time he&#039;d moved to the Isle of Man. It was imported into the UK in 2016 and then purchased by well-known Jaguar collector, Mike Birtwistle, who was impressed by its rust-free condition and original red interior.&amp;nbsp;
Mike mechanically recommissioned it, had the sun-bleached paint resprayed and used it for several Jaguar Enthusiast Club events before selling it to a fellow JEC member, West Midlands-based motoring TV producer and journalist, John Lakey, in September 2017. John was delighted as he&#039;d been looking for a 4.2-litre MOD Series 1 in these colours for years and regularly writes about the car in Classic Car Weekly.</p></description>

Vehicle information and history:
Although the criteria for a car to be described as one of the world&#039;s top supercars will always be open to some debate, surely few would argue that the Aston Martin DB5 should be amongst this group. A luxury grand tourer which may have been the product of an Italian design team, but is the very essence of British sophistication and style, the DB5 built on the impressive success of its predecessor, the DB4 and between 1963 and 1965, presented the motoring world with one of the most desirable cars ever produced.&amp;nbsp;
With pure driving pleasure at its heart, the Aston Martin DB5 was fast, powerful and refined, but most of all was beautiful to look at. With its iconic front profile and eye-catching spoked wheels, this product of the 1960s can still hold its own with any modern classic and if you arrived at an event in one of these beauties, you would definitely be the centre of attention.
The most famous CORGI® model of them all returns in a brand-new release to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the iconic James Bond film &amp;lsquo;Goldfinger.&amp;rsquo; First released in 1965, this classic toy is the biggest selling die-cast car of all time. This is a newly tooled version of the classic 261 Aston Martin DB5, featuring all the legendary action features of the original, including the working ejector seat, pop up rear bullet shield and spring out over-riders and machine guns.&amp;nbsp;
For 2024, the 261 arrives in the iconic Silver Birch paint finish of the real car for the first time ever!</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>

<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>

Aircraft information and history:
As one of the most successful fighter aircraft of the Second World War and one which was produced in huge numbers, it can be a little surprising to learn that the Supermarine Spitfire was not produced in a two seat training variant during the war, meaning that pilots converting to this awesome machine would be making their first flight in the Spitfire as their first solo. The Vickers Supermarine company did propose the development of a two seat variant of the Spitfire to Air Ministry officials as far back as 1941, but as there was no official support for the project at the time, they simply returned to further development of single engined fighters.
Once the war had ended, stories of unofficially modified two seat Spitfire projects started to circulate, with the ones produced by the Soviet Air Force being perhaps the most significant. Britain would eventually supply Russia with more than 1000 Spitfires and it was discovered that they actually converted several Spitfires to two seat configuration, however, rather than moving the front cockpit slightly forward as Vickers Supermarine would later do, the Russians elected to simply add a second cockpit behind the existing one, using a narrower section of the fuselage. Making these aircraft extremely distinctive, this also must have also created a rather claustrophobic working environment for the second pilot.
With this information in hand, Vickers Supermarine revived their interest in producing a two seat Spitfire as a private venture and in 1946, selected a Spitfire Mk.VIII airframe as their donor aircraft. In fact, one of the most interesting facts about the two seat Spitfire variant is that there is no such thing as a new-build Spitfire T.9 trainer, because every single example was originally manufactured as a single seat fighter.
Something of a post war phenomenon, the two seat Spitfire did attract several military operators over the years, including the Irish Air Corps, however, it is during the warbird restoration era and more specifically over the past two decades that the popularity of &amp;lsquo;Spitfires made for two&amp;rsquo; has really become established. As arguably the most famous aircraft of all time, the ability to boast that you had flown in a Spitfire used to be the preserve of talented and extremely fortunate pilots, however, as they now had the opportunity to carry a passenger, the chance to fly in a Spitfire was now open to anyone and there has been no end of people desperate to have a Spitfire flying experience.
Nowadays, offering Spitfire experience flights has become an extremely lucrative business, to a point where only a few years ago, almost every Spitfire under restoration was being converted to T.9 or two seat Spitfire standard. These aircraft are now much loved in their own right, regularly appearing at Airshows, in addition to operating in all but the poorest weather conditions, taking its latest lucky passenger on their Spitfire experience flight. These Spitfires made for two are maintaining and even enhancing the legacy of this magnificent aeroplane, bringing R.J Mitchell&amp;rsquo;s classic fighter to the attention of a new generation of Spitfire aficionados.
Supermarine Spitfire TE307 was originally constructed as a Mk.IXe fighter variant in 1945, but due the end of the war in Europe, was immediately placed in storage, where she would remain for the next five years. She was then selected as a conversion airframe to T.9 trainer standard, initially earmarked for service with the Egyptian Air Force, but when this sale fell through, embarked on a service career flying with the Irish Air Corps. Following retirement and disposal, she would go on to be used during the filming of the famous move &#039;The Battle of Britain&#039;, before moving into private ownership and periods spent with different owners in France, Canada and the US over the next few decades. She would later be purchased by Warbird Experiences at Biggin Hill and returned to British skies at that time wearing the famous standard RAF wartime day fighter scheme, however, she was about to take on a very different persona.
In a development which saw this aircraft become one of the most distinctive airworthy Spitfires in the world today, TE307 was given a smart new scheme in honour of the fighters flown by the men of No.457 Squadron Royal Australian Air Force during WWII. With each of their aircraft benefitting from the application of sinister looking shark mouths under the engine cowling, the unit was known as the &#039;Grey Nurse&#039; Squadron and Spitfire TE307 now carries the registration A58-606 and the codes ZP-W in honour of Squadron Leader Bruce Watson, who flew with this unit.
If you would like to fly in one of the most distinctive Spitfires in the world today, you need to get in touch with our friends at the Biggin Hill Heritage Hangar and join the long queue of people hoping to have this unique aviation experience.</p></description>

Vehicle Information:
The original Austin 7, first introduced in 1922,&amp;nbsp; was classed as an economy car produced in Great Britain by Austin.&amp;nbsp; Because it was so small, it was popularly known as the Baby Austin, so against today&amp;rsquo;s large family cars, it is truly small!&amp;nbsp; Such was its appeal that it went on in production right up until 1939, with various specification upgrades and modifications along the way.&amp;nbsp; The Austin 7 Ruby was introduced in 1936 when its restyling included a longer bonnet, cowled radiator, slightly downswept tail and the spare wheel enclosed by a metal cover, which also concealed a folding luggage rack</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.
