Corgi y Corgi Premiums Europa (precio EUR)

Probably the most recognisable vehicle to ever grace the streets of Peckham, Del Boy's yellow Reliant Regal is a three wheeled marvel (it should have been written off years ago) that lacks road tax but comes with a pair of fluffy dice as standard. The main mode of transportation for the hard working staff of Trotter's Independent Traders, the Reliant Regal is the work horse of the business and, like any old nag, breaks down unexpectedly and frequently. Please note this item does not include suitcases.

This impressive Aviation Archive 1:72 scale model of the P-47D Thunderbolt is presented in a high-back configuration, and features a rotating propeller, optional undercarriage, and a display stand. The livery represents an aircraft flown by a legendary future American ace. We’ve only made 1,100 of these limited-edition Republic P-47D Thunderbolt die-cast models. History Although remembered as the top-scoring Mustang ace in the European Theatre of Operations (ETO), George E. Preddy Jr. actually made his ETO combat debut flying the P-47 Thunderbolt. Whilst he did score his first three victories flying this massive fighter, things weren’t always without incident. After downing his third Luftwaffe fighter, Preddy and his wingman, Lt. William Whisner, were heading back to Bodney when Preddy’s Thunderbolt was hit by flak crossing the French coast. Whisner later reported seeing smoke billowing from the cockpit of Preddy’s fighter, and his leader taking to his parachute. Despite being low on fuel, Whisner remained circling above his leader until controllers confirmed a position fix, and that a rescue aircraft was on the way. When the Walrus did arrive, the sea was so rough that it ripped a float off the aircraft during landing. Although it was able to rescue Preddy, it had to be towed back to shore by an RAF rescue launch. All of George Preddy’s fighters in the ETO were named ‘Cripes A’ MIGHTY’, a term he heard people using for luck whilst playing the dice game craps. It appealed to him so much that he painted it on the fuselage of his Thunderbolt and all his future Mustangs. The 352nd began converting from P-47s to P-51B Mustangs in March 1944, and the rest is the stuff of USAAF ace pilot history.

When Republic P-47D Thunderbolt 42-29150 “Dottie Mae' took to the air following the end of a lengthy restoration project in June 2017, she was not only a fine example of this brute of a wartime fighter, but could also claim to be arguably the most historic airworthy former wartime aircraft found anywhere in the world. Recovered from Lake Traun in Austria some twelve years earlier, this aircraft had the distinction of being the last Allied fighter to be lost prior to the end of the war in Europe, one which wasn't lost to enemy action, but the exuberance of a pilot who just flew too low when undertaking a morale boosting aviation show of strength flight. Assigned to fly over a recently liberated German labour camp in the town of Ebensee, Austria, a force of twenty Thunderbolts made their way at relatively low altitude from their base at Kitzingen, but with Mohr in 'Dottie Mae' always appearing to be flying lower than the rest of the flight. After overflying the town, the Thunderbolts headed out over Lake Traun and broke formation, however almost immediately, the propeller of Mohr's P-47 struck the surface of the water and was dragged in. Pilot Lt. Mohr managed to escape unscathed, but his aircraft quickly sank to its watery resting place, along with the ignominy of being the last Allied fighter lost during the war in Europe.

Dive into nostalgia with a new version of a Vintage Corgi Classic! First released in 1965, the 417 Land Rover Breakdown Truck is recreated in the modern day with working features including sprung suspension and a working tow hook jib, along with a premium replication of the original vintage packaging.

RNLI Gift Set Founded in 1824, the RNLI is a unique charity. Funded by public donations, it provides a 24/7 search and rescue service around the coastlines of the UK and Republic of Ireland. It designs and builds its own lifeboats, and the vast majority of its lifeboat crew members are volunteers – ordinary people from all walks of life who give up their time to help others. As well as lifeboats, the RNLI provides a beach lifeguard service. The charity also works to improve water safety through education and awareness campaigns, as well as sharing its expertise with life-saving organisations overseas. There are over 350 lifeboats in the RNLI fleet based at stations around the UK and Ireland. Find out more at RNLI.org. Our RNLI gift pack combines three of the most iconic: • The Severn Class lifeboat (1:173) – the largest lifeboat on the fleet (left) • The Shannon Class lifeboat (1:136) – the most agile and manoeuvrable all-weather lifeboat (right) • The Land Rover Defender and D Class Lifeboat (1:83) – The D Class inshore lifeboat has been the workhorse of the RNLI for over 50 years

As a consequence of bus deregulation in 1986, many new operators outside of London, as well as several traditional operators, took to the iconic AEC as a cheap and reliable vehicle to protect or develop their routes and services. By 1990, London Country South West had adopted the fleet name of 'London & Country', but the name of the company was not officially changed until 1993. London & Country acquired RM1183 from Southend Transport later that year and used it on Surrey Schools route 418 initially, whilst still in Southend livery. Graduating to Christmas shopper services on routes 406 and 408, the full London & Country two-tone green livery was applied, in probably the finest livery carried by an AEC. Operating on a Leatherhead based routes 406, 408, 410, 414 and 473 during 1994 as well as the Surrey Hills leisure buses, at the end of 1994 183 CLT was overhauled and repainted into Lincoln green. Sold on to Nostalgiabus for use on route 306, Kingston to Epsom, it was destroyed in an arson attack during December 1997.

The automatic Rover SD1 V8 modelled was completed at Rover's Cowley factory on July 14th, 1982, and despatched to BL dealers Caffyns, Brighton. It was then transferred to Henlys central London branch in Golders Green, who sold it to Hitachi Denshi (UK) Limited as a company car. Hitachi retained it for 4 years before it entered private hands. The current owner, Oxfordshire-based Gareth Hopkins, purchased it in March 1996 for £425 when it had already completed 142,000 miles. His father, a former RAF aircraft engineer known as 'Hoppy', had owned a straight-six 2300cc SD1 manual for many years and Gareth grew up travelling in it giving him a life-long affection for SD1s. The car was in quite a poor state, but Gareth used it as his daily driver, christening it 'Bob', before fitting many new panels and having it resprayed in July 1998. In 2000, Norfolk-based Rover V8 specialists RPI converted it to LPG, halving the fuel costs and making Gareth's regular trips to Europe more affordable. He retired the car from daily duties in 2010 and, after finding a manual V8 SD1 from which he could get the parts in a local scrapyard, converted it to manual transmission at the same time as rebuilding the engine. In late 2012 it received a high-quality respray and now wears its 260,000 miles lightly. Gareth has been an SD1 Club committee member for over two decades.

When the development of project R40, as the Rover 75 was known internally, began in earnest at Longbridge, the mood was optimistic because, to joint-venture partner Honda’s surprise, BMW had purchased the company in February 1994. They injected the development cash the business had hitherto lacked. The resulting car was launched at the Birmingham Motor Show on October 20th, 1998 and was praised for its elegant exterior design by stylist Richard Woolley and very British interior ambience. Production commenced at Cowley, Oxfordshire, but when BMW sold the company in May 2000 it was moved to Longbridge. The 75 remained in production until 2005 by which time 211,175 had been produced. The automatic 2.5-litre V6 Rover 75 modelled was sold new by MG-Rover dealers Vantage-Preston and was first registered in July 2005, just three months after the Longbridge-based company went into administration. It features the later-revised bumpers, grille and single-light facelifted nose treatment launched in 2004, which gave the 75 a more modern look, although it cleverly used the same lamp base units with a new single lens on top. Since November 2022, it has been owned by Greater Manchester-based Rover 75 enthusiast Tim Hubbard, who bought it because it showed a genuine 87,000 miles and was in very good overall condition. The 75 and its MG-badged ZT cousin have now acquired a strong following in the classic car world and values are increasing.

The P6 modelled left the production line at Solihull on 6th January 1977, making it one of the last 20 3500S’s built. It featured black leather upholstery, an expensive option at the time. It was despatched the following day to BL dealers Rossleigh Limited, Edinburgh, Scotland but was road registered by nearby BL dealers Appleyard’s on 24th March 1977; the gap of over two months perhaps suggests that the leather was fitted to use up some of the factory’s optional parts stock, rather than for a specific customer’s order. The first owners, Ben Line Steamers Ltd, purchased it two days after it was registered and covered 36,850 miles in 20 months. K Dunn Quality Cars sold it on 9th November 1978 to Mr David Smith-Davidson and it was still in good condition when he advertised it for sale in July 1993, showing 72,000 miles. It was purchased by its current owner, West Lothian-based George Beattie, a Rover P6 Owners Club Regional Organiser who’d always wanted a 3500S. George has maintained the car well and, in 2012, fitted two new rear wings and one new front wing, then had the rust in all the door’s lower areas repaired before it was resprayed. George, a retired train driver, has helped out in Bob and Gill Baird’s model shop, Harburn Hobbies, Edinburgh, since 1975, so is looking forward to displaying the model of his car.

In October 1963, Rover announced their compact 2000 model which was often known colloquially by its codename P6. It was an all-new design featuring a unit-construction base skeleton covered by bolt-on body panels, independent front suspension using horizontal coil springs, de Dion rear suspension and four-wheel disc brakes, giving it class-leading dynamics. Its radical exterior and interior styling was by David Bache and its pioneering passenger safety-cell contributed to it becoming the first ever 'European Car of The Year' in 1964. Rover's General-Motors derived all-aluminium V8 was offered as a more powerful option in April 1968, finally giving the P6 the power its chassis had always warranted. Production of the P6 ceased in 1977. Engine: 3528cc V8 OHV; Power: 150bhp@5000rpm; Torque: 204lb.ft@2700rpm; Maximum speed: 122mph; 0-60mph: 9.1 secs; Produced: 292,947 (all P6). This special 60th Anniversary Collection model includesa commemorative pin badge. Rover is the trademark of Land Rover (UK), Licensed by British Motor Heritage Limited.

Rover SD1 3599 V8 Vitesse White

With supercar looks and V8 muscle the SD1 is many people's favourite police car, the livery suited the profile and it typified a new breed of high-visibility, high-speed, police traffic car. Probably the most famous police SD1 is C356 YST, the car restored in 2014 for the C4 TV programme 'For The Love of Cars', by Ant Anstead working with SD1 specialists Robsport International. It is now owned and exhibited by the Grampian Transport Museum and arrived there on January 10th, 2015. The following day its main police driver, Ian Slorach, came down to see it and enjoy some high-speed laps of the museum's track in his favourite patrol car. Early 1980s Aberdeen was rich with oil-money and local dealer, John Clark Specialist Cars, sold many rapid Audis and BMWs which owners 'tested' on the Stonehaven bypass after it opened in 1984. Grampian Police needed to deal with this and commissioned a police specification Vitesse 5-speed manual that sat slightly higher to aid pursuits over obstructions. To minimise cost and weight while improving reliability, the car was stripped of its electric-windows, sound deadening and other luxury trim items. It entered service on December 10th 1985, immediately becoming an urban-legend and object of fear among local supercar owners and served until July 20th 1988. It led a hard life, suffering several crashes and breaking three back axles, so definitely earned its retirement in the museum.

Ford Escort Mk2 RS2000 X-pack Venetian Red Ford’s AVO plant, which had been created to build short runs of limited-edition cars, was mothballed in 1975 but the company still wanted to offer enthusiasts the option to build the RS Escort of their dreams. Thus the customer or dealer-fit Series X modifications were developed. The Series X tuning parts catalogue addressed every area of the car, engine, brakes, suspension and body styling but customers could pick the components that they wanted or more pertinently, could afford. Six X-pack RS2000s were built by Ford’s engineers at Aveley using the full body kit, which was made for the company by Fibresports of Essex

Recognise these Screen Stars? The Ford Capri Mk2 2.0S in Diamond White and the Jaguar XJ6 Series 2 in Silver were icons of the 1980s, and they make attractive die-cast models too. These highly requested 1:43 scale cars will look fantastic next to your other Screen Stars models. History The 1980s were a turbulent but transformative decade for the United Kingdom, with the closure of many traditional industries in contrast to the rise of the financial hub of London and the growth of big business. The transitional nature of the nation was often reflected in the television programmes of the era, with series showcasing the divide between those in honest careers and others working to make a living by any means. Debuting in 1969, the Ford Capri Mk I was intended as the European equivalent of the iconic Ford Mustang. The MkII arrived in 1974 with a revised and larger body compared to its predecessor, while retaining the sports coupe’s attractive basic outline. It is notable as being the first Ford to feature a hatchback boot, and it was available in a variety of engine configurations. Production ceased in 1978 and gave way to the legendary Ford Capri MkIII. The Jaguar XJ series debuted in 1968 as a series of luxury saloon cars that sat as the manufacturer’s flagship four-door model, with the XJ6 acting as the base version of the line. The vehicle family was updated in late 1973, and this revision was badged as the Series 2, which saw production run until 1979. The 4.2 litre XJ6 was the most popular version of the series in the United Kingdom, with over 60 thousand of the type produced compared to the 16 thousand of the higher specification XJ12 model.

In the late 1970s, Ford vehicles were among the most popular cars to appear on the streets of Britain, but also in television dramas that gathered millions of viewers around screens at home. Their presence on some of the top-rated shows of the era helped add to their desirability among the public but also secured their place as true classic cars. Debuting in 1969, the Ford Capri Mk1 was intended as the European equivalent of the iconic Ford Mustang. The Mk2 arrived in 1974 with a revised and larger body compared to its predecessor while retaining the sports coupe's attractive basic outline. The X-Pack performance option was introduced in 1977, featuring an upgraded engine and wider wheels which required a modified fibreglass body kit to contain the larger wheelbase, giving these vehicles distinctive and easily identifiable flared wheel arches. The Ford Granada was developed as an executive car, debuting in 1972 and succeeding the Ford Zephyr in the same market space. The square bodied Mk2 version was produced between 1977 and 1985, though under the bodyshell there was little structural difference from the Mk1. The car featured a wide range of engine specifications, with the 2.8 litre V6 sitting at the peak of the available options. The car was a strong seller for Ford in the late 1970s, with numbers peaking in 1979 with over 50,000 vehicles sold.

Particularly well suited to the demands of high speed pursuit, the Ford Capri Mk3 3.0S holds a special place in the heart of fans of British television crime fighting in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The vehicle type retains a cult following to this day. Debuting in 1969, the Ford Capri Mk1 was intended as the European equivalent of the iconic Ford Mustang. The Mk2 arrived in 1974 and added a useful hatchback body option while retaining the sports coupe’s attractive basic outline. The Mk3, launched in March 1978, brought in many detail upgrades, with the most obvious the partially shrouded twin-headlamps, front-spoiler, wrap-around bumpers and slatted grille. These, combined with the rear-spoiler, lowered the drag coefficient to 0.374, a reduction of 12.6%, and improved both high-speed stability and fuel economy. This made an attractive showroom package and remained in production at Ford’s Cologne plant until December 1986 when the model was retired after 18 years, by which time 324,045 Capri Mk3s of all types had been produced and a total of nearly 1.9 million Capri’s had been sold.

Sd.Kfz.7 Krauss-Maffei medium towing half-track, Luftwaffe flak gun artillery tractor, Tunisia, May 1943 This heavy half-track was one of the powerful vehicles which pulled Germany's supplies and artillery around the battlefields of the Second World War and was used throughout the war, on all fronts where German troops were engaged. The vehicle is perhaps best known as the tractor unit for the fearsome 88mm anti-tank/anti-aircraft gun, although it also served in a number of other essential roles, such as tank recovery. Providing a mobile solution to anti-aircraft defence, the Krauss-Maffei could also be equipped with a quad 2cm Flakvierling 38L artillery piece, mounted on the modified load platform of the vehicle. On May 7th 1943, the British 7th Armoured Division captured Tunis, the capital of Tunisia and the USII Army Corps captured Bizerte, the last remaining port in Axis hands. Six days later on May 13, 1943, the Axis forces in North Africa surrendered and 267,000 German and Italian soldiers became prisoners of war.
