(PICS) Some 1/12 British cars from the '50s and early '60s
First of all: The Sunstar basic '60 Morris Mini Minor sedan (They called them MINIs after '62)

Sunstar's Morris Minor convertible. Even the trafficator (turn signal arm) hinges out.

1/12 Austin A35 panel van..This was 'restored' from an Airfix 'Wallace and Grommet' kit that was molded with dents, holes and simulated rust patches. I also fabricated the flying A hood ornament and replaced the dog-leg door hinges with more accurate tiny external hinges.

Finally: AutoArt's 1/12 D-type Jaguar long nose. They incorrectly used graphics from an earlier short-nose version which certainly got the race car collectors toga in a knot. I was, however just pleased to get a 1/12 version of the D-type that might otherwise have been somewhat unaffordable without the bad press.

You and your brother's collection is so vast and eclectic....
I would love to see where and how you display them.
Could you take some pictures, please?
