Brooklin Models on the BBC! Sent us by Amanda.
Brooklin Models will be featured on Points West, the south west BBC news station this evening. We were fortunate enough to have the lovely Emma Campbell visit to interview Nigel and take an in depth look at how the models are made. They spent a few hours here and focused quite heavily on our new 1936 Bentley (LDM 81). It was an enjoyable and exciting experience for all of the staff and we are waiting to see which of our gorgeous faces makes it onto the programme which starts at 6.30pm on BBC1.
It will also be available on Sky Channel 986
For those of you that aren't in the SW broadcast range, or don't have Sky, visit the Points West website at:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006pft9 Scroll down a little, on the left is a section called 'Featured, Watch the latest Points West'
The programme should be uploaded at around 8pm and will be available for 24 hrs.
We hope that they caught Nigel's good side!

I watched it an hour ago! Very good and great pics of the new Bentley
It took the BBC two hours of filming for this short piece...but it's good!

All too short
Typical of television edited down to a fleeting glimpse. Still Bentley looked good and was that an A50/5 I saw being fettled?

Short but very sweet. A nice segment to hit the world news

Yes, this is a forthcoming A55 Mk 1...a model never before made in 1:43...I think! Colour is likely to be Tweed Grey as so many were. I also remember them in black, Palm Green and Speedwell Blue with the three complicated two tones in Mineral Blue/Speedwell Blue, Palm Green/Spruce Green and Old English White/Tweed Grey.
