Oops hall of fame

Post by nickjones »

Thanks to all of you that sent in photographs of your oopsies, Sorry it took so long to create these pages, it took me almost a week to complete them.

Thanks for putting this together Nick, looks great in the format.
I nearly sold one of my Oooops! model last week.
Had a visiting collector looking to buy some landies and offered her a blue Safari Landrover.
She was very happy and we were discussing a price when she turned it over and said …

To which I quickly replied, "Oh you won't be wanting that then will you?"

So glad she spotted it as I'd have been sad to have sold it without realising.
She left happy as I sold her a spare 12a Land Rover that I had.

Lot of Information about most of the models - stunning work.

BTW the catalogue at page 1 - I think we should use our 3D glasses :D

...while we're at it, my #39 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II with the Black grille etc is actually pictured by myself because all it's wheels are actually too large causing very little (if any), rotation. The Black Grille etc is the result of poor storage on my part and the cold air has caused the 'Chrome' to evaporate away to nothing!!
