This is a very attractive model and Brooklin issued it in a couple of colors within the Lansdowne Range. For me, this is the most distinctive looking.

My favourite Austin from the 1940s. I remember being really impressed as a kid.

This is excellent and a very stylish model.

Using this opportunity I'd like to ask John about some photos of the Madison Models. I created a topic where described models which images I look for. Have you got in collection:

Nr.12  1947 Oldsmobile Series 66 4- dr Sedan,

Nr.15  1960 Dodge Dart Phoenix 2- dr Hardtop,

Nr.16  1952 Buick Siper Convertible,

Nr.18  1956 Plymouth Belvedere Convertible;

Nr.19  1947 Plymouth Special De Luxe?

I have a Lansdowne model of a convertible in red. Growing up we had a neighbor who had a Austin Atlantic and I really thought it was a neat car. The neighbor was in the diplomatic corps and travelled to England frequently.
