@jack-dodds Hi Jack, it's very smart especially in this beige. I have a 262C Bertone Coupe and a 1927 OV4 by Rob Eddie and like the models very much. Though I've yet to get round to some of their '30s examples and of course your own Amazon / Canadian. Thanks again for the images.

This one is a little newer for you folks, but our family had a 1968 or 69 145 when we lived in Denmark in 1970! The sun must have been in my eyes...
@charles-rockett My blue PV444 is by Vilmer Denmark - they only made 4 cars and this is one of them. All are hard to find but this might be easiest of the 4! MARONLINE had 2 articles on the Vilmer cars ( https://www.maronline.org.uk/more-about-vilmer-cars/ , and one by me). The off-white is by Geno of Sweden, whose factory burnt down so they did not make much else - much more rarer than the Vilmer. Both 1:43...

@karl Fascinating, and thank-you for the link. I suspect this will be something our zone-associate, David would be interested in too - among others - I'm heading to your article right now. It's always good to see these nostalgic photographs as well; thanks again.

I have always been fond of this generation Volvo. I have a couple of them, but I am very intrigued by the Tin Wizard versions, I'm going to need to look into those a bit more.

@jcarnutz They're well worthwhile looking at John, and have a great range. Many German cars as that's where they're based of course, but plenty else besides. https://www.tinwizard.de/en/home/

Thanks Steve: three days! It arrived Tuesday with the Opel Kapitan posted earlier. It is from Tin Wizard who are based in Germany and who offer a wide range of white metal kits and ready-builts. Thomas Wolter, the proprietor is very helpful and will do 'specials' on request, though this Volvo is stock.
You're welcome and thanks for the pics and background info.

And on this site, American car followers might be interested in the 1950 Nash Statesman in blue, red or taxi livery. Built or kits. A bit pricey unless you go for the kit.
