I have for some time been looking for a couple of 'ordinary' pre-war cars for my layout.
At last,there is one in the Oxford models ad...a Morris 8 tourer. They also do a Jowett Javelin which is a bit late for me. It's a shame about the colour as I have a real one in black. The model is cheap enough to repaint and have it as a model of my own one off layout.
Does anyone know of anyone making a pre-war Austin, Vauxhall or similar saloon. I don't want a kit, my eyesight is not up to it now. I want to replace the pale blue Mercedes tourer from which a couple are feeding the sheep on the station bridge !

At last my local model shop has some of the new Oxford models in stock.
I called in today and bought a Ford Pop and a Morris 8 tourer. I was a little disappointed to find the Morris was a series E model and a bit late for my 'era' but they are both exquisite models and my 3 yr old, potential enthusiast, grandson hasn't twigged the date discrepancy of either car yet. Sold out of the Jowett though.
He can now identify three of the locos on the line by name, My old 'Duke of Sutherland' , the new Jubilee 'Australia' and my Eames Jubilee, 'Kashmir'...I've got to keep the interest up....well, I need someone to leave it all to !
