These model to be launched in the course of this year (I hope)

Details such as the side mirror etc look great! Pretty good for a 1:43 diecast

Great find Gerrit, do love seeing these sort of models. At least we know prototypes exist!

I found this pic in the NAMAC's magazine of this month.

The prototypes were shown at the Nuremberg Toy Fair a few weeks ago. Better pictures can be found at

Do we maybe have a Rolls-Royce connoisseur here?
Is the Phantom III a Barker Sedanca de Ville? Or some other design? I ask because a Barker SdV was Goldfinger's car and would fit nicely into my collection if Oxford produce it in the "right" colours.

I'm afraid not, the Oxford Phantom III is based on a car with H.J. Mulliner coachwork, Goldfinger's car was a Barker bodied car and they are not close enough in design for a simple conversion.

"Do we maybe have a Rolls-Royce connoisseur here?" Noooo, I don't think so, haven't seen one round here...

Okay, thanks for the answer, Ghosty - although that wasn't the answer I wanted to hear.

The Phantom V James Young is similar to a car used in the 1967 Casino Royale spoof but the film car has single headlights, the Oxford double. Is the Oxford a Phantom VI - although they advertise it as a Phantom V?

I haven't checked this, but my initial thoughts are that Oxford have got it correct for a car with a PV22 body design. The Twin headlamps are dating the car from 1962 onwards, several Years before the Phantom VI was introduced.

Thank you again for your info!

Here is the ''Casino Royal'' film car.
