Proposed in around 1996 but never progressed. Based on Coca Cola body with Y12 on "Made in England" base, so very old stock used for the trials. To get as far as print runs for the boxes and have it cancelled must have been quite a loss.

Very poignant Bob, thanks for showing. Shame it was pulled, I see the intention was to donate a £1 to RBL for every model sold.

very nice Bob, especially with the box artwork also.

Far to new for your collection, I think I have room for it here.

As it's a preproduction model and it has a "Made in England" baseplate, it's fine here!
