  1.  

    The first batch of CULT 1/18 models will be here very soon - back end of next week, with a bit of luck.

     

    The first three arrivals will be:

     

    Triumph TR7 open roadster in metallic blue or silver,

    Bentley Continental S1 Fastback,

    Rover 3500 SD1.

     

    There will only be 3 of each arriving, initially, and already 1 of each has been pre-ordered, leaving 2 of each available.

     

    I will list them on the site as soon as they arrive.

     

    If you've been hankering for one of these gorgeous models, it might be a good time to shove the knife up your piggy bank and give it a good wiggle!

  2. Just received this email from a Cavalier Mk 1 customer...

     

    "Hi Frank, having just read your letter in Model Collector, I just wanted to reassure you and say that I think my Excalibur Mk 1 Cavalier is FAB_U_LOUS " P.B.

     

    That makes two of us :-)

  4. I've JUST listed five Derrez Models 1971Triumph Herald Skylight models.

     

    I was just about to announce this in the blog and before I had the chance to do so, a customer has bought four of them. There's one left - white with wire wheels.

     

    I've got some more on order and they should be here in the next couple of weeks, hopefully, so if you want one, keep watching, or let me know.

     

    This job would be really easy if I had no customers... ;-)

  6. MATRIX MODELS ADDED TO THE FOLD!!!

     

    Most of you will know of the Matrix brand of model cars, from The Netherlands-based company.

    The models are hand-built in limited quantities, are beautifully detailed and finished, and made in China from high-quality resin and photo-etched parts.

    I've decided to add this brand to the catalogue as I've been asked for them a number of times by customers.

    I've just added an initial seven models and will add more as I can get them, as they're mostly sold out at the importers.

     

    If there's any particular Matrix model that you're trying to find (British or foreign) let me know as the hunt goes on to track down more models.

     

    Click over now and have a look at what's available.

     

    Regards to all,

    Frank.

  9.  

    The inaugural stock of the Automodello models has sold well. I ordered an exploratory eight models and have sold five of them already: 4 x TVRs, various colours, and 1 x metallic blue RHD 1964 Marcos 1800 - it was the only one I had.

     

    I've just put in another order for more TVR models (the colours that sold initially, plus now red and also yellow) and more blue Marcos 1800s.

     

    I've also ordered a couple of pale blue 1965 Sunbeam Tiger Mk 1 convertibles - these come with an additional detachable hard roof, in black.

    It's a LIMITED EDITION of 165 and will be priced at around £125-130.

    There's only TWO Tigers initially, so if you want one, pre-order by contacting me as usual.
