its a long shot but I'm living in hope.
My old mum has started to lose her memory and has asked if its possible to get a scale model of the car her father used to own (in a bid to keep some memories alive)
It was an Austin A30 (black with red interior).
I can't find any of these anywhere, apart from really really small ones (in the region of 2cm)

So, has anyone any ideas where I could get one?

Vanguards (Lledo of old/now Corgi) did them in 1/43. I have a few tucked away.

Ebay will be worth a visit.

There is one in the model railway OO scale (1:76), but it may be a bit small.

There is a kit available in a larger scale (1/32 I think)...

ETA. Have you thought about running a real one for a while, I've seen them under £1k and they look great fun. smile

This one's a little more expensive but looks in good shape.
