  1. ...are now in stock and can be viewed at the OTOL MODELS category on the site.

     

    The Paykan is the left-hand drive export version that was sent to Iran for assembly there for their home market. Apparently, some can still be seen driving around there nowadays.

     

    These are beautifully made models from OTOL, a new manufacturer.

  2. My recent announcement of the AUSTIN MONTEGO and the TRIUMPH ACCLAIM was hardly noticeable, here it is again!

     

    The BHM EXCALIBUR  range covers cars from 1980 onwards.

     

    The first models EXC 1-3 were variants of the MK 1 Cavalier and have been very popular. 

     

    Moving forward, EXC 4/4a is the AUSTIN MONTEGO together with the MG TURBO version. 

     

    Following this will be EXC 5: the 1982 TRIUMPH 1300GLS ACCLAIM.

     

    Both of these models will follow Majesty Classics MC 15 the VAUXHALL VICTOR FC/VX 4/90 models, which will be going into preliminary developement shortly.

     

    The next six months show prove to be very fruitfull for new models from BHM.

     

    Click over to EXCALIBUR on the site for more info.

  3. Listen up lads - this is no fun...

     

    ... after two years treatment, I have been given the 'all-clear' with my prostate cancer.

    I was very lucky because it was caught early, and had not spread to outside the prostate.

    One of my customers has recently had the same good news and another, not so good.

     

    If you're over 50 years of age, it's important to keep a regular eye on the situation.

     

    There is excellent information on the NHS website. But also, if anyone wishes to ask me anything in confidence, email me.

     

    This subject is not taboo - the more we discuss it and explore it, the better.

     

    Regards to all,

    Frank.

  4. Received this email this morning from another customer, who bought a Corsair...

     

    "Many Thanks Frank, The lovely Corsair arrived this morning, sooner than I expected, no problems at all"   

    GF

     

    A lot of customers are buying one of each: 2000E + 2000GT with the 2000E colour split being roughly 50/50 between the Amber gold and the Aubergine.

     

    Regards to all,

  5. ... British Heritage Models is proud to announce that they have been appointed as the SOLE UK DISTRIBUTOR for a new brand of premium quality, 1:43rd scale, model cars.

     

    OTOL MODELS are based in Turkey and the models are made in China.

     

    They are LIMITED EDITIONS and are in the upper, premium sector of 1:43 scale model cars. 

     

    Retail price has yet to be finalised, but will be within the region of MAJESTY CLASSICS.

     

    The first model in the range is the 1968 MARK II Hillman Hunter. This will be joined straight away by the PAYKAN, which was the Hunter, supplied by Rootes to Iran in CKD (completely knocked down) form, then being assembled abroad.

     

    Your model won't be in CKD form though - so you can put away your glue!

     

    Click over now to OTOL MODELS on the site to see preliminary, manufacturer's photos. When the models arrive, I'll take my own.

     

    The first batch will be of limited quantity so if you want to pre-order one, let me know.

     

    Regards to all,

    Frank.
