OXFORD DIECAST 1:76 models

New 1:76 models - under £4 - just got mine (both colours, they're so cheap) and all I can say is - near perfection. You'll never regret buying this. Just bear in mind that it is very tiny - about as big as my dainty thumb - wich makes it all the more remarkable that they managed to get all the chromework right, numberplates and so on right. The small scale means that outside mirrors were left off, and all the better for that.

The Imperial Crimson one is based on Ron Smith's aubergine example, but has cream interior not black. Not sure who owns the Green example, but in real life it is running on dark green wire wheels, not discs as shown. The interior is correct in light green though.

Full marks to Oxford for this one - I wonder if they can be persuaded to issue a 541 deluxe now?


Loosely based on the real thing:
