A classic piece of British design which has stood the test of time, and just had to feature on
Canada Street….. This early 1960s short wheelbase Landrover MkII has been converted from the
Airfix 1/76 scale kit.
An aerial view of Flower's car lot shows the bargains on offer. The vehicles are mostly from
the Oxford Diecast range, each one given a couple of coats of matt varnish and printed labels
stuck to the inside of the windscreen with PVA glue.
This pair of Oxford Diecast vehicles (Morris J4 van & Ford Escort mk1) have been customised
with people, wing mirrors, wipers & tax discs, numberplates and a couple of coats of matt varnish.
Most of the information regarding new car deliveries was the tendency to have the vehicles
facing rearwards. The Oxford Diecast Ford Cortinas have been given a couple of coats of matt
varnish to reduce the shine, and are affixed to the Carflat wagon with a dab of PVA. Various
colour mixes have been prepared to match the body colour, and the number plates painted out.
