Couldn’t keep you away from topping up your newly rationalised collection for long Julio....

Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 SS Touring - Gamma




Got this via Racing Models OK (Martin had previous problems).

[Alfaholic]

Nice to see they came through for you on such an exquisite model

[Jager]

Looks like all of Martin’s recent Gamma acquisitions are rubbing off. The Alfa looks great with its simple flowing lines.

Ford Zephyr 6 1962 - Vanguards




Had Vanguards Zephyr 4 from way back. Corgi have really improved detail. Gone are the jewelled headlights and now has etched wipers. A bargain at £12 + £3 P&P paid!

[Alfaholic]

Love the wide rims and dish-hubcaps. Nice one.

[GBOAC002]

Still something not quite right about it, perhaps it lacks crisp lines of the fins on the 1:1. It's a good effort but I'd really like to see them do a nice Zodiac III.

It almost looks like it has a bit of an Italian influence to it, did it?

Yes, an Italian did have a hand in it’s design. The Ford Freaks will have to identify him as I don’t know

The Zephyr was actually designed by a Canadian called Roy Brown who had also designed the Edsel and the Cortina, but the rear of the body was said to have been "inspired" by a design proposal by Frua .

[Tom]

Now that is a nice upgrade indeed!

[DeadCanDanceR]

Very nice model, indeed!

They were having grappa while at work, that's the Italian connection.

My grandad had a Zephyr 6 in grey. I really like the Zephyr Vanguards.

My grandad had a Zephyr 6 in grey. I really like the Zephyr Vanguards.

My father in law had one in Zambia. My first wife chose the colour..........Caribbean Turquoise. In the sunlight you could see it from miles away. The leopard seat covers were a classy touch

Sounds like you should send the pictures to Vanguards R & D department .

Maserati Mexico Speciale Frua 1967 - MATRIX

[Alfaholic]

Very, very nice David.

Is this a fantasy colour though? Your model sent me off to Google and the only one I can find is maroon?

Nah! Look harder! I think this was the original colour and the maroon is current.
