PICS A shed load of new stuff from Brooklin, Lansdowne, Matrix and NEO
And here they are to drool over the weekend when you're not carving pumpkins, that is.
First up is the 1936 Railton Fairmile in a slightly different guise, i.e open and not closed as before. Personally I would have preferred a different colour. New GB price is ?89.99 (US$ 146, 105 Euro).

Next is the recently introduced 1967 Buick Wildcat but in a different colour, and looking rather splendid in Burgundy Mist Poly with a representation of a black vinyl roof. (GB?93.60, US$151, Euro 105)

Third and finally, another GM vehicle, and not too dissimilar from the Buick. The 1965 Chevrolet Impala in Evening Orchid Poly. (Price as for the Buick)

From white metal to resin and the first of the Matrix. The quintessentially British Rolls-Royce, in this case the 1933 Phantom II with Continental Sports Coup? body by Freestone and Webb

Another very British car, and from the same stable (in those days), the Bentley 4.25 Litre All Weather Tourer with coachwork by Thrupp & Maberly.

Now I know you people over the pond are getting impatient for another home grown car. Wait no more. Here's NEO's take on the 1929 Cord L-29 Brooks Stevens Speedster looking rather good in black and white.

Well that's it. Get off and do you pumpkin bit now.
Like them all, Mike but especially the '65 Impala. Nice paintwork on the tricky taillights. Are...
those front vent windows on the Impala actually chromed?
Yes, they are Randall, as is the small script aft of the front wheel openings.
Mike,I know a guy that has this real 1/1 Rolls Royce.
Is that the RR that was used as the subject for the model Gregory?
Mike,I really don't know for sure
