 I collect primarily Jaguars in 1/43 scale. This one is an emergency vehicle used at Silverstone, and is one of more than 30 Milestone (including Gems and Cobwebs and Diamond Jubilee series hand made white metal models). 

I recently ran into problems adding images to this website from my iMac. I have posted this one from my iPad, which seems to work fine. Problem is, most of my images are on the IMac.

Great looking Jag David. I hope someone can figure out your dilemma and help you post via your iMac!

@david-green, you might check your settings on your iMac. I had to change the settings on my iPhone as it was creating and storing images with a  ".heic" suffix. The site does not recognize .heic.

Certainly this is one I'd like to find. I have two other Silverstone Jags. This is the Series II XJ12 made as GPM Racing 7600. Grand Prix Models had a bunch of Solido models painted red, then packaged the whole thing as a transkit with lights, siren, decals, and a Chubb fire extinguishing tank where the back seat was. Here is my result from my kit building days.

Corgi Vanguards VA08614 is a Series 1 XJ12, which adds a rear spoiler.

There are several other Silverstone Jaguar fire vehicles. I wish someone would make the circa 1999 S-Type.

I have the Vanguard Silverstone car but that Grand Prix Models version is new to me. I would like to add that one to my collection. I note that I both models are of the No 7 car which I assume was modified at some point. Jaguar fire and safety cars are an interesting sub-collection. There are several others available in addition to the Silverstone ones.

You did a very nice job with that transkit, Harv.
