VANGUARDS 1/43 MGB - BRONZE YELLOW


British Leyland's internal politics meant that the MGB was not replaced in the early seventies as initially planned but was given small face lifts every year.  It received standard Rostyle wheels, rocker switches, rubber-faced overriders, bright lurid colours reflecting the zeitgeist and in 1973 the grille centres and wipers became matt-black.

The car modelled is a famous press and publicity vehicle, photographed on 30th August 1972, and is reproduced as it was that day.  The pictures appeared in brochures, newspapers, books and other publicity material.  However, research by The British Motor Industry Heritage Trust shows that the number plate AKO 181L appeared on many other BL publicity cars.

SIGNATURE MODELS 1/18 STUDEBAKER AVANTI

1963 Studebaker Avanti Gold 1/18 Diecast Model Car by Signature Models




The unconventional fiberglass body of the Avanti coupe, which was designed by French born Raymond Loewy, still looks modern and contemporary today. The interior theme was aviation with some controls even on the ceiling. The car was built on the shortened version of Studebaker's Lark convertible chassis and was powered by Studebaker's 4.7 liter 289cid V8. However, because of production problems related to its fiberglass body, only 3,834 Avantis were built in 1963 and 809 in 1964. The problem meant the car was unable to be the promised savior of the trobled Studebaker, which ceased operations in 1966. However, two Studebaker dealers in South Bend, Indiana, bought the rights to the Avanti in 1965 and continued to produce their Avanti II until 1987.

VANGUARDS 1/43 SUBARU IMPREZA 2000cc TURBO WORLD RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP - COLIN McRAE

McRae’s 1995 season started badly, with no hint that he would end it as World Rally Champion and the youngest ever winner of the title. However, by dint of a superb winning drive in New Zealand, and a controversial second place in Catalunya, McRae and Ringer started the last event of the year, their home rally, equal on points with Subaru team-mates Carlos Sainz and Luis Moya. The result was never really in doubt, despite suffering a puncture in Pundershaw and losing two minutes, McRae simply pulverised the opposition to win the rally and become Britain’s first World Rally Champion. In Catalunya McRae and Ringer were classified second behind team mates Sainz and Moya after Dave Richards, Subaru’s team manager, imposed team orders. Colin initially did not agree with this and posted a series of fast stage times. However he finally assented and clocked into the penultimate time control late, giving Sainz and Moya the victory.
