  1. ... primary production plans for the Cresta PB have now been announced by Frederic.

     

    Both models of the car will be produced in a variety of colours and varying amounts. 

    BUT! all amounts are LIMITED so as soon as the colour schemes are announced it'd be a good idea to get your skates on and pre-order before they sell out.

     

    Here's the planned schedule:

     

    Cresta PB 2.6 Litre - 1-tone colour - no whitewall tyres - 1 colour scheme -          50

    Cresta PB 2.6 Litre - 2-tone colour - whitewall tyres - 1 colour scheme -               90

    Cresta PB 3.3 Litre - 1-tone colour - no whitewall tyres - 1 colour scheme -          50

    Cresta PB 3.3 Litre - 2-tone colour - whitewall tyres - 1 colour scheme –               90

    TOTAL PRODUCTION: 180 + 100 = 280.

     

    This is production for WORLD sales. Not all of these will be coming to BHM.

     

    Regards to all,

    Frank.

     

     

     

     

  2. Captain Tom!

     

    He's 100 today and has raised a staggering £31,000,000 (up to now) for NHS charites.

     

    BHM held 4 x charity auctions, on eBay, in aid of Captain Tom and I am very pleased to say that the total raised (after deduction of Paypal charges) by those auctions was £723.

     

    I've just passed that amount onto Captain Tom's Just Giving page.

     

    Well done and many thanks to any of my customers who bid on the auctions.

     

    The page closes tonight so if you want to donate - better get your skates on!

     

    Regards to all,

    Frank.

  3. CAPTAIN TOM MOORE.

     

    You may have seen on the TV news about Captain Tom Moore doing his 100 lap walk of his garden to raise money for the NHS.

     

    The remarkable thing is that Captain Moore is 99 years old and will be 100 in a couple of weeks.

     

    His original target was to raise £1,000. At the time of writing this, he's raised £8,908.000.00

    NO, that's not a clerical error - nearly NINE MILLION POUNDS.

     

    I've made a donation to the cause and if you wish to as well, copy and paste this link to his JUSTGIVING page:

    Every little helps.

     

    I'll be putting on eBay tomorrow night, in 3 groups of 3, BHM protoypes of forthcoming models. All proceeds will be going to Captain Moore's charity. You can bid on these on eBay tomorrow. Bidding will start from 1p AND EACH AUCTION WILL LAST FOR TEN DAYS.

     

    Each group shows forthcoming models in the BHM pipeline and each group will come with a signed and dated Certificate of Authenticity.

     

    Let's wish war veteran Captain Tom Moore a Happy Birthday by supporting him.

     

    Regards to all,

    Frank.

     

  4. MATRIX MODELS...

     

    WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE GREEN BUGATTI ALL THESE MATRIX MODELS ARE REDUCED TO CLEAR, THERE BEING ONLY ONE EXAMPLE LEFT OF EACH!!!

     

    PLEASE NOTE! THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM - THEY ARE ALL BRAND NEW, UNOPENED.

     

    THEY ARE SINGLE MODELS THAT HAVE BEEN RECENTLY ADVERTISED AND ON SALE BUT NOW REMAIN AND ARE TAKING UP VALUABLE SHELF SPACE AND I'VE GOT MORE MODELS OF VARIOUS MAKES DUE TO ARRIVE = I NEED THE SPACE.

     

    THIS IS A SUPERB OPPORTUNITY TO 'FILL THE GAPS' IN YOUR COLLECTION AT BARGAIN PRICES! 

     

    BUT! WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE GREEN BUGATTI, THERE IS ONLY ONE OF EACH.

     

    I AM NOT STOPPING TO SELL MATRIX MODELS - THEY ARE VERY POPULAR - BUT I NEED TO CLEAR SPACE.

     

    REGARDS TO ALL,

    FRANK.

  5. I've received an update from China regarding the Cavalier MK 1 model.

     

    The manufacturer has told me that the models will start to be produced in April, although he didn't specify a date. The first model will be the saloon followed by the Sportshatch then the Coupe.

    Delay this year has been caused firstly by the Chinese New Year, when they shut down for a fortnight. No sooner had he got back to work when the Coronavirus kicked in and they were put into lockdown.

     

    He's currently working on the Ford Cortina MK ii Lotus.

     

    Regards to all,

  6. REGARDING THE CORONA VIRUS: Some of you have contacted me to say that you enjoyed the recent poem about panic-buying. Also that the recent blog post was appreciated. This has given me the idea for THE DUNKIRK SPIRIT.

     

    For the forseeable future, this DUNKIRK SPIRIT category will exist for anyone to submit a poem, mini story, anecdote,  or joke, for the entertainment and enjoyment of others.

     

    It is important to keep our spirits up at this trying time, and what better way than to come together and share anything which is entertaining and/or amusing.

     

    If you wish to submit anything for this category please contact me via the site EMAIL with the item, putting DUNKIRK SPIRIT in the title bar of your email.

     

    All submitted material remains the copyright of the writer. There is no ulterior motive to steal or plagiarise other people's literary efforts.

     

    All entries must be clean, innofensive and respectful of other peoples' race, religion, sexual orientation etc. ANY OFFENSIVE MATERIAL WILL BE DELETED.

     

    So, let's all pull together and get this idea off the ground!

     

    I'll start the ball rolling with a few of my poems and/or jokes.

     

    So get your thinking caps on and get the creative juices flowing. It doesn't have to be a piece by YOU, if you don't feel up to it - it can be by your wife/partner/family member/friend etc. Please enclose the name of the writer.

     

    I'm not looking for Charles Dickens!
