Just unpacked this recent 1/12 release from Sun Star. Nice detail, the window winders even work

WOW...That look's really nice.Almost like you can get in there and drive it away.
Thanks for posting the pictures.

Couldn't view the pics ( some problem ), but I'll get back to it.

The Morris Minor was one of the most common sights on UK roads in the 50s, 60s and well into the 70's. It was almost the equivalent of the Beetle, except that it didn't last as long.

My old mate Sam bought one for £60 which had been owned by the original ' old lady ' who drove it to the shops and church. It was 12 years old, had 18,000 miles on the clock and still ran like a watch.

Sam learned to drive on it, passed his test, then sold it for £55.

Amazing what you could do for a fiver in those days!

dllgfcu - Couldn't help noticing guy, that you have my ALL TIME FAVORITE die-cast in the background (albeit, in one of the less attractive schemes).

I've bought 4 x of 'em so far, & just can't get enough of 'em (Routemasters).

B.T.W, W.T.F. is with Monsiuer 'Fat Controller' - YOU ON DRUGS OR WHAT

I said "no" to drugs...but they did'nt listen The Fat Contoller was my daughters input he's just about the right scale too

I like the Sun Star Routemasters, the Blue "Vernon's" version would be my least favourite of them. My next Sun Star purchase will be the upcoming 1939 RT AEC Regent

dllgfu,

Have to agree about the Blue 'Vernon's Pools' - about as popular with Joe Public as a 'Preist at an Orgy'.

I've got Two of the 'Greenline', one of the 'Red' (Lucozade) & I managed to pick up the other 'Silver' R.M. (Daily Express) for only £ 44 (s/h) on E-bay, although thankfully, it's as MINT as a new 'un.

I'm VERY interested in this up-'n-comin' R.T. Regent, you've mentioned......

First I've heard of it - any pic's or Web-pages you can recommend ????

Back in the late- 'seventies (one night) Girlfriend & I were waiting for the late night No 62, only to find it PACKED with enthusiasts (bummer, long walk !).

Turned out it was the last regular R.T. run in service, before retirement !!!!!

(in our region of London).

Link to the RT, quite expensive

Of the one's I own, the 1st release (2901) & the Greenline are my favourites. When I was a kid in the 60's, used to ride the RM & RT's in London & the Lodeckers in sunny Luton.

Cheers for the links.

Looks good - just can't work out why it's about a bullseye (£ 50) dearer, than the gorgeous R.M.'s ????????
