Here is a white metal model built from a kit. Grand Prix Models in the UK made many good kits over the years and published a monthly magazine.
Invicta is a British automobile manufacturer. The brand has been available intermittently through successive decades. Initially, the manufacturer was based in Cobham, Surrey, England, from 1925 to 1933, then in Chelsea, London, England, from 1933 to 1938 and finally in Virginia Water, Surrey, England, from 1946 to 1950.
In 1930 the Invicta 4.5 Litre S-type was launched at the London Motor Show. Still using the 4½ litre Meadows engine but in a low chassis slung under the rear axle. About 75 were made.
In 1930 Donald Healey gained a class win in the Monte Carlo Rally, and won the event outright in 1931 with an S Type, having started from Stavanger. S. C. H. "Sammy" Davis had a spectacular accident in an S-type at Brooklands in 1931. Raymond Mays held the Brooklands Mountain Circuit Class Record in 1931 and 1932, and the outright Shelsley Walsh Sports Car Record in the latter year.

A nice oldie David. Autotorque also made an S-Type, here is one in 1929 Le Mans trim (it DNF'd). Matrix released the rally versions not long ago, and I have Donald Healey's Monte winner from 1931.
