  1. If you want the laugh of the century, go to Ebay now and type in Lansdowne models in the toys and games section and look at some of the prices other dealers are asking for the SAME deleted models that I'm selling.

     

    They're ranging from £100 -£120 for the EXACT SAME MODELS.

     

    I know what they paid for these models - exactly the same price as me -  and it angers me that these people can be ruled so much by greed to a point where they are attempting to rip-off customers to such an extent.

     

    I know my customers well and I know that a lot of them are elderly gents, surviving on a pension, but still locked in to their lifelong hobby of collecting model cars. I try to provide a professional, quality, value-for money service. Here's an example of the blatant rip-off prices being carried out...

     

    Ebay, Monday, July 3rd:

    Two customers each bought a model of LDM 68a, the Lansdowne Cortina Ghia estate.

    My customer paid £59.99 + £4.00 p&p = total £63.99

    Another customer bought the EXACT same model from another dealer and paid £109.90 + £6.95 p&p = total £116.85.

     

    £116.85 - £63.99 = they overpaid (were ripped off) to the tune of FIFTY THREE POUND.

    No, you read it right = FIFTY THREE POUND.

     

    Even another 'LADY' dealer, who always asked reasonable prices for Lansdownes, has succumbed to the GREED bug and is listing EXACTLY the same models as mine for £100 each.

     

    Still, not to worry - since 15th June, when the first batch of Lansdowne/Brooklins arrived at BHM, as of today, I've sold a combined total of 109 models - one man buying SEVEN at once. I wonder how many the other dealers have sold?

     

    And now, I'll leave you on this happy note... it'll soon be Christmas!!!

  2. 1959 VAUXHALL CRESTA PA-S SALOON.

     

    The white metal Crestas, as cast from the original Pathfinder mould, sold very well and I've already taken another 3 pre-orders for the next lot.

     

    If you fancy one, nip over to the GTA Models category to see what's been ordered. I've ordered a couple of new colour combinations and you can see pictures of the real cars that the colours will be based on. These models, though not cheap, are excellent value for money as the original Pathfinder (single tone) models go for around £250 each.

     

    Regards to all,

    Frank.

  3.  

    Just had a delivery of the lovely CORONET CLASSICS from Alan.

     

    Back in stock is COR 1, the 1937 Conway, open roof, in three different colours: blue, burgundy red or green, all with black mudguards.

     

    Also just arrived are two NEW models: COR 4, the 1938 Ford Prefect in blue and COR 5, the 1948 Vauxhall Velox L-Type in a choice of metallic blue or Almond green.

     

    Nice models, highly detailed and hand-built in white metal. Click over now to 'Coronet Classics' on the site and take a look.

     

    It is the mission of British Heritage Models to support the small model-maker (he's only three foot six).

     

    Regards to all,

    Frank.

    P.S. I was only joking about the three foot six :-)

    ABSOLUTE BARGAINS...!!! 

    BHM is in the process of acquiring a stock of BRAND NEW, FACTORY FRESH Lansdowne models. 

     

    These are deleted models and are no longer in the current Lansdowne range, but retail at BHM's speciallly reduced prices.

     

    The models are BRAND NEW and in perfect condition - they are not rejects or showing faults. They are supplied BRAND NEW IN BOX.

     

    This is a PERFECT OPPORTUNITY to fill any gaps in your LANSDOWNE collection at prices that are EXCELLENT VALUE FOR MONEY!!!

     

    BUT!!! This offer is only available WHILE FACTORY STOCKS LAST. When the supply dries up - that's it. They've gone.

     

    Nip over now to the LANSDOWNE MODELS - DELETED category of the site to see what's on offer. More models will be added, if and when I can get them. If there's any particular model that you're looking for, let me know and I'll try and get it.

     

    Regards to all,

    Frank.

     

     

     

  8.  

    Just a note to let everyone know that the Cavalier Mk I is still on the cards, being well down the road to being finished.

     

    Sorry about the delay but I have no control over the production schedule. Hopefully, there won't be much longer to wait now, as I received an email a couple of weeks ago from the maker, asking me to confirm the interior colours.

     

    If you want one but haven't yet ordered, let me know as soon as possible as, out of the 100 to be made, the available stock left is getting very low.

     

    Regards to all,

    Frank.

  9.  

    I've just taken into stock THIRTEEN 1959 Vauxhall Cresta PA-S white metal models.

     

    These have been built by Graham Price, from his original brass master that was used for the Pathfinder model.

     

    The build-quality, paint finish and presentation are as to be expected from this master model builder.

     

    PLEASE NOTE: out of the first THIRTEEN models, seven have been sold already, leaving

    SIX ONLY LEFT. 

     

    Priced at £124.99 + £4.99 p&p, they're incredible value for money when you look at some of the prices being asked for the correspoding Pathfinder model.

     

    Take a look at them now, in the GTA MODELS, WHITE METAL category of the site.

     

    Regards to all.

    Frank.

  10.  

    British Heritge Models is proud to announce that they have been appointed as an official retailer of the LANSDOWNE range of classic, British cars, made by Brooklin Models of Bath.

     

    The first six are now on sale and can be seen in the new 'LANSDOWNE MODELS' category on the site.

     

    Keep watching as more will be added but if there's any model in particular that you want, let me know and I'll get it for you if it's available.

     

    Regards to all,

    Frank.
