It's like they ramraided World of Leather.

This used to be mint about 2-3 years ago but then seemed to be used as a daily driver and has really gone downhill visually in the last few months. It probably wouldn't take too much to get it looking good again.

Thanks, I'm just glad someones reading it as it's taking hours! I sold it to a member on here who broke it and it ended up on Guernsey or Jersey and then it was crashed, i did see a photo of it on facebook a while back so i think its still about.

Here's some proper shite in miniature, 3D printed in 1/76 scale by CMAC/m0rris 122 on eBay. Excuse the background as the layout is mothballed due to home renovations. They look better in person as the photos are much larger than actual size.

Who wouldn't want to make their final journey in a wedge hearse?

Jag is based on the one in the Jaguar Heritage collection driven by HubNut. It's actually the colour of my sister's old Hyundai Getz.

Maroon Volvo reminds me of a big plastic Stahlberg one I had as a kid

Tuscan Beige is an authentic colour for a Mk5 Cortina

But did Mk2 Granadas ever come in Aztec Bronze?

And the ultimate shite - a beige Morris Ital with a brown vinyl roof and brown interior.

Yep.  Rover 100 (or Metro) tail lights as well.

Are those Rover 100 headlights for extra horror?

Don't know who Eddie Kidd was, but hands down that's the best tribute/documentary I've seen of a sportsman.
It's above Finding Jack Charlton for me. And I cried at that.

I suspect they'll be hedging their bets that they'll need to include funky new busses in any future tenders and therefore anything that is repainted now can be farmed off to other parts of the country or that they can incorporate the cost of any re-repaints necessary in the future tenders given that no-one has manchester liveried busses at the mo.
With the COVID grants, there's a lot of government money sloshing around the bus world for work on facilities and vehicles that previously would never have been signed off by their owning groups. Its a very strange world according to the manager I know, money for repainting 20 busses but no money for hiring additional staff etc.

Tommy Cooper did quite well out of it before the BMC accountants realised their mistake and royalty payments were quietly dropped.

I suspect that Riley and Wolseley fell very neatly into that non-niche... the differentiation between the two never seemed to make much sense, nor did letting them stumble on for quite so long.

This is cool

Meanwhile, in Norn Iron...

A bit like the one on here, only with more doors and slightly shinier paint. Also some extemely decadent stickers and trim rings, definitely not befitting a bASe model!

Plenty of room for buying supplies for the Kwik-E-Mart too.
