Burocrates make sanctions and restrictions more and more cruel. But usual people and animals who aren't responsible of current affairs suffer oc their political ambitious. Today I hoped to share in grouos in facebook information about new model in my collection. What was a suprise when all my posts were deleted by facebook. I made it only using my page but now can't write anything in groups directly. Apparently, the second step will be ban for comments. At this moment I have no information will I be able continue with facebook or no. What is that is. Here are not big choice of models and Meta also wants to stop my opportunity enjoy photos and take part in comments.

This is the 1947 Triumph Roadster by Minimarque 43. I was so impressed of Bergerac TV series that I decided to purchase its 1/43 replica. There was only one model on the market, finished in black color with red interior. It has some pakning defects but its price was reasonable. This is the first Minimarque 43 in my collection. Not sure that I will be able to buy other models of this company. I like white metal very much and have 10 Brooklin models in collection. This is a very good result for me and I can't dream to have more.

Fred, I have this model also because it is a model of a 1/1 scale car I like very much. A roadster with a rumble seat that has it's own windshield is truly unique.

I spent many wonderful Sunday hours back in 1948 to 1950 riding in the rumble seat of this Triumph when I was at boarding school in Yorkshire. Great car and a good Minimarque model. Thanks for the reminder Fred.

Kess also made very nice resin replicas of this car. Glad I avoided the earlier versions.
