Shameless royal wedding miniature automotive tat

[Formula Autos]

Corgi have now jumped on the Wills and Kate bandwagon, and have produced this, ermm, err, tasteful (cough!) range of commemorative model vehicles:

This little beauty is my particular fave - yours for a shade under 30 Sovs.

Because nothing marks the occasion more fittingly than a gold plated Model T van, does it?

[dollywobbler]

Deary me. I'm actually at a loss for words, but 'pathetic' is in there somewhere.

[RedSparrow]

What an absolute load of shit. Anyone who buys this crap is a moron.

[Justin Case]

If anyone in your families should give you one (I know you like old cars, etc ), then you are all more than welcome to use my avatar to dispose of the offending items

[Negative Creep]

I just know my Granddad is getting his chequebook out as we speak..............

 

 

ETA would go well with this lifestyle cutout

Almost as good as some of the legendary Viz Diana memorabilia.

I wrote on our Facebook page about these a few weeks ago. TBH I really didn't want to stock them. But we have had a few customers ring up and ask if we would have them so I stuck them on presale on the website and ordered with Corgi just what I had orders for. I have been very surprised by the demand for them, thought we would hardly sell any but we have sold rather a lot of them.

Jesus wept.

Seem to recall some OAF making facecious comments about them....

I can't say I like the idea of buying models through the post, one time I bought a Princess Diana tribute car through a mail order firm and it arrived all smashed up.

[autofive]

i ll wait for the model artificial insemination hospital scene, and royal divorce removal van, and kates 'accident' inquest scene - all coming shortly from the franklin mint

Indeed.

Wake up Corgi, what the world really needs is a model concertinard Merc with a dying tart hanging out of it.

[fotorabia]

The box set of the The Last Bango in Paris..with the white Fiat Uno mysteriously missing..

[chaseracer]

Don't forget the limited-edition 'paparazzi moto' add-on...

This is the only model for a Royal Wedding any discerning shiter should have in their collection:

At least Diana did actually have a Metro at one point! To the best of my knowledge, neither Kate nor Billy have ever owned a Model T Ford or double-decker bus. A Mini is pretty unlikely too I would have thought.

[Parky]

I have that Metro!!!!

 

That is all.....carry on

[pompei]

When Diana became pregnant, Prince Charles complained to Sir Michael Edwardes that the coil on his new Princess was broken...

[Father Ted]

Mee too!

I seem to remember Viz did a handmade tribute to Marc Bolans mini in a tree as part of their fine are series. Its a shame they did not do a beautiful Diana in Tunnel one either.

That's what happens when other men get inside her.

 

 

Allegedly.
