BRITISH HERITAGE MODELS: The name you can trust...

Hello all,

just a quick note to say that the Silas 1952 Jensen Interceptor has come into stock. 6 models x LTD: 50 each version = 300.

That's the good news... the bad news is that they've already sold out at Silas.

But because of the special relationship between Frederic and me, I've managed to acquire the last of the models.

 

If you wish to buy one - buy it ASAP. If you wish to reserve one and pay at a later date phone me ASAP on:

01244 320761

I'll guarantee you a model (if it's still in stock) and post it when you're ready for it.

 

Regards,

Frank.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!

 

Master model builder (and brass pattern maker for Brooklin, Somerville, Western, etc.) PETE KENNA (Kenna Models) and BRITISH HERITAGE MODELS  have come to an arrangement where BHM will be a RETAIL DISTRIBUTOR for Kenna models in the United Kingdom!

 

The first model to be commissioned by BHM from Kenna Models is the Daimler Straight 8 convertible (detachable hard top).

Initial production will consist of 12 MODELS ONLY, divided into 3 variations:

 

1.  =  5 only  x  reg. no. LJJ 11:-  the original model of the Daimler Straight 8, as launched at the 1948 Earl's Court Motor Show.

 

The show car was, at the time, the most expensive car in the world and was presented in the livery of metallic Jade green with a cream interior. It acquired the nickname "The Green Goddess".

 

The KENNA model is an exact replica of that car = a stunning model, 5" long, exquisitely detailed, of exceptional "Kenna" quality and supremely hand-built. The cream hood is removeable.

 

2.  =  5 only x two-tone metallic pale blue and black. This beautiful colour combination comes with a contrasting cream interior and cream (removeable) roof.

 

3.   =  2 only x black coachwork with contrasting cream interior = inspired by the car as shown in the 1950s' Norman Wisdom comedy film "Trouble in Store". The hood on this model is cream in colour and also removeable.

 

I have seen these models in early build and I can honestly say that they are beautifully done. The build quality is SUPERB, the detailing EXQUISITE and the overall presentation is SUBLIME. Any of you who already own Pete Kenna models will know of the quality product that is associated with the name.

 

The cost of each model is £125 + p&p of £4.99.

 

To reserve your model (only 12 in the initial build) please contact me as soon as possible and I will pre-order it for you:

 

Telephone: 01244 320761 or email: [email protected]

 

Photos of the models will follow ASAP.

Regards to all,

Frank.

Take a look at the New Minimarque section on the site, to see some beautiful renditions of those all-time favourite, British sports cars - the MGB and the MGC.

 

The models are hand-built in white metal, exquisitely detailed, of superb quality and beaitifully presented.

 

Each model is a LIMITED EDITION of just 50, in its particular colour scheme, with its edition number stated on its plinth.

 

They are all open roadsters.

 

Beautiful models of an all-time favourite. I used to own a 1967 MGB roadster in Yellow Ochre with a black interior, reg no: WTU 262E.

Ahhh, those were the days - before the baby came along and reduced me to a Volkswagen Beetle... :-(

 

Regards to all,

Silas models come along like British buses - you wait ages for one, then three come at once!!!

 

More fantastic news just received from Frederic is that the 1952 JENSEN INTERCEPTOR is reaching the final stages of assembly and will be along soon!

 

The model will be available in three colour schemes:

 

Metallic steel grey with Burgundy red interior...

Old English White with beige interior...

Dark Indigo blue with pale blue interior.

 

It will also be offered in hood up or hood down versions, making a total of six fantastic models!

 

 

PHOTOS OF ALL SIX MODELS CAN NOW BE SEEN IN THE "SILAS MODELS" SECTION OF THIS WEBSITE.

 

 

Don't forget though, as always with SILAS, the models will be strictly LIMITED EDITIONS therefore early pr-ordering is advised.

 

The SILAS Jensen CV8 model sold out at a rapid rate and a lot of collectors were left disappointed.

 

Anyone wishing to pre-order the 1952 JENSEN INTERCEPTOR can phone me on 01244 320761 or email me on [email protected] to be guaranteed receiving the model/s of your choice.

 

Payment is not required until the models have arrived into stock and are ready to be despatched to you.

 

So get your skates on!

Regards to all,

Frank.

 

 

 

 

A unique model, from Frederic of Silas Models, has just arrived:

 

the 1964 Vauxhall Viva HA de Luxe, shown in one of its export variants as the Vauxhall Epic.

 

The model is LHD and features French number plates.

 

As usual, with Silas models, it is exquisitely detailed, beautifully presented and of superb quality.

 

A unique rendition of an extremely rare car, it deserves a place in your collection!

 

However, only 200 of this LIMITED EDITION will be produced (100 in each colour scheme).

 

Regards to all.

 

Frank.
