Custom Car Builder

John Roberts will customise your Lansdowne (or other white metal / plastic model) to your own personalised specification including opening doors, bonnet, including engine detail.   Opening features will require a minimum of two original models - hence the price.  John does a particularly good job of customising the Lansdowne Brooklin MG Y model, even using it as a base to make a proper MG YT model.  Quotations available on request.  See his website for full contact details.

D G Models

Autocraft produce a range of vehicles, initially created in the mid 1970s and produced intermittently over the years in very small quantities. Fashioned in the style of Dinky, the D. G. Models range consists of those specific marques not produced by Meccano, being aimed primarily to complement the collections of Dinky enthusiasts. We are a very small company and every model we produce is created by skilled craftsmen within our own workshops resulting in a moderate output of any item. Over the years D. G. Models have acquired an enthusiastic following in their own right.  Each of these pewter models is cast from our original 1970 moulds, hand assembled and individually finished.  Specifically, we have an MG Y Saloon and an MG YT (hood up) in the range. 1/43 scale.

Lansdowne Brooklin Models

1/43 scale model YA.  Lansdowne do not sell to the public, however their YA Model is available from our Regalia Sales.

Rosco's Models

N Gauge (1 inch) bare pewter models with separate radiator, headlamp and front bumper assembly in brass. Can be painted to the colour of your choice.  Models are sold in pairs approximately $10.00AU per pair.   They can be purchased mail order from MRC on line.  They do not have a secure website (for credit cards) so send a fax with credit card details and delivery address and request air mail.  MRC's fax number is +61 (0)2 9831 4132 or phone +61 (0)2 9831 8217 email mrc@zip.com.au - watch the time difference though if you want an answer!  See Collectibles for a picture.
