A great run of the crème de la crème - late fifties to mid sixties. The colors and proportions are rich.

This one I thought was a grey wheel version but upon closer observation I think it has silver wheels!

You have got some excellent models there, but I have to admit I think the Vauxhalls are simply stunning with those delicious colour combinations, thank's for showing them.

I guess I need a gold one to be complete on the window versions, stopped collecting but will have to dive in again I'm afraid.

I'm the guy with color perception problems but am I correct that the colors look somewhat unique on the 31B Ford wagon box? Am I seeing blue in that depiction of the body of the car? :?:
