Both car and model maker are British. Who could ask for more ?

It's a really lovely toy I immediately fell in love with.
Produced from 1950 to 1953 it has a steering system using the central headlight. A clockwork motor and a break.

What is amazing is its faithful lines, its cast sharpness and that it has separate parts (grille and bumpers).

Here you will find a few pictures which can show you much more clicking on them.

There were only two cars in this range ,a rolls royce and a standard vanguard,the vanguard came in at least three different scales.
