Hi all,
Dave, not seen that window ad either, presume Trev had a look at it? Pretty rare then I reckon.
US ad is a weird timeline modelwise, but then older unsold stuff was always sent overseas, what's with "manufacturers closeout?" not till 1979 / 80 by my reckoning? More likely importers?
Strange model selection too,I didn't know the Morris Royal Mail van was sold outside the UK, too British I would have thought? Maybe not.
My old man's Morris 1100 didn't look like that!
I'd take the lot on at them prices though! :D

Hi Chris
you are right trev had a look at my catalogue lot :lol: couldn,t get him to buy any though just all the best dinky models i had in :D its handy having an expert around the corner lol.
The american paper ad has line drawing that are in the 1964 catalogue so must be around that time,Trev said he will like the two tone rolls and car transporter featured on the covers and the load on the antar,these must be rare colours .

He'll be tryin' to shift 'em on to me at Bridgnorth then!
Yeah, the export colour Auto Transporter is pretty HTF, I got mine from a good mate Dave (!) down in NZ last year,

Tailgates missing but I don't care,it's one I could actually afford, and if you want the gold export view box it'll cost you more than a real 'un!
