' Hi Rob, You have no idea how pleased I am with this picture! I guessed that this version must be out there, but had never seen evidence, I've now adjusted my wants list by removing the ? which means 'might not exist'. Do you have a Spratt's van with the front webs cab? That's the other one I'm missing, and that still has a ? Chris Warr.

Marvellous Rob, it never crossed my mind that a first type cab might be in existence on the Ever Ready Van! A good indication that these first types were still in production in 1955 or very short before. Indeed the 1955 catalogue shows a first type:

I will have to be satisfied with my second type example (and I am!):

Kind regards, Jan

A new addition to the collection arrived yesterday. A very nice red no. 405 Universal Jeep.

There are many colour variations, but I'm glad to have the basic trio now! On this occasion I quickly assembled a contribution regarding this model, in an appropriate new thread. Kind regards, Jan

Hi all, Been a good year for battered 40 Series, no sooner than getting a second Maroon Vanguard, than another Black 40b turns up.

BTW: If anybody wants to swop a Black Triumph and Maroon Vanguard for something I don't have in 40, 36, 39 Series drop me a line please. Cheers Chris Warr.

A nice one Dave, both model and trade box! My latest arrivals demonstrate that I seem to have gone 'red mad':

Kind regards, Jan

Dave and Jan, your new arrivals are very nice and all mint ! Mine below arrived yesterday but not mint at all ! Anyway, I am very happy with the Panhard 32 A because it is very uncommon ! The Ford SNCF has been repainted but the canopy is ok and all the tyres are original. The Forward Control Lorry had a very poor look when it arrived.

The Forward before cleaning !

Kind regards Richard

Lovely Jag Dave! I've added a couple of 39's but they are a bit rough, 39a in Olive Green, and 39b in Grey...

Today I received a pre war Studebaker 39f. No fatigue in the body, bright yellow color, thin axles, smooth hubs and lacquered baseplate. Just small pieces of the original tyres were left so I had to replace them. Now this rare model can join my other 39 models. John.
