Harvey, Look what I found (pics)
Sometimes, with all of the models you accumulate, you don't remember all that you have. I was looking through the showcases, to see what might be of interest to photograph, and ran across these two beauties. Not quite Somerville, but still very neat.

Nice Ray! I have one other by Corgi, the S A Peacock van.
I may need to dig it out for a photo. Per Corgi Collector magazine, this one (in lime and black) is based on an actual vehicle.

Was the spare tire really mounted on the door? Never saw that before.
