Hi Dave,

Seem to remember our local newsagents having one of these displays, right up until the early 1990's.....

Cheers

My Corgi Juniors book lists a 'Best Of British' set as being available in 1983, number 3109-A and containing 7 vehicles (wonder what the other 7 were?). The only one showing as an individual listing in Union Jack box is the TR7.
