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.

The BMC Farina models were first announced by Silas for production in 2011.
Owing to manufacturer problems, the project was put on a back burner to allow other Silas products to go into production.
Demand for these three models, 1962 MG Magnette Mk IV, 1962 Riley 4/72 & 1959 Wolseley 15/60, on pre-orders was amazing. Many customers were frustrated and very disappointed when the models failed to materialise.
NOW - it gives me great pleasure to announce that the BMC Farina project is definiitely back on. Pre-production prototypes are being paint-tested and assembled for final fit.
I am hoping it won't be too long now before the models are on the way to us.
As always with Silas Models, these will be strictly LIMITED EDITIONS and will follow the pattern of 3 colour choices.
THE ORDER BOOK IS NOW OPEN!!!
To reserve your models, go to the SILAS section on this website, choose which colours/models you wish to pre-order then phone me ASAP to reserve your models.
You are advised to do this as early as possible to avoid disappointment, when the models sell out.
You may phone me on 01244 320761 or email me at [email protected] to place your priority PRE-ORDER. That will guarantee that you get your models.
Regards to all.
