VANGUARD - VAUXHALL ASTRA 1.7CDTi - WEST MIDLANDS POLICE


The Police Information Technology Organisation (PITO) chose the five door Astra as its recommendation for the basic section vehicle classification. This means that many forces are running Astras and finding that the economy and longer service-life offered by the diesel variants is a real bonus. The low-revving nature and flat torque curve of a turbo diesel suit the urban environment in which these vehicles work and also offers a higher resale value, something that has become a more important consideration to the police in recent years. The car modelled was used by the West Midlands Force, working around the Birmingham area from 2004. Shop here

VANGUARDS 1/43 AUSTIN 1800 - MAROON


This maroon MKII 1800 capture something of the look of this ugly but cavemous car. For some reason we're not convinced by the front, around the bonnet/grille area, but the rest of the land-crab is well captured and the finish is nicely worked. It's just that front..Shop here
