After two years I attended my first trade show and it was very good to meet up with some old friends. I had a very good day and took my little track down, which proved very popular. Fortunately Orpington is only an hours drive for me so I did not have to get up too early. I am not gettting any younger after all, 69 next week, so will not be attending shows that require a long drive. Milton Keynes and Orpington are just about right.
In car news we have some new offerings for you. The RAC Volvo PV544 is ready and live on the website, as is the Singer 9 Le Mans, and Sunbeam road car.
The Volvo looks very nice in cream, and the Sunbeam is a good example to let you realise your own versions of an iconic British sportscar. And the Singer 9, well that's just damn pretty. We also have a RTR Cortina available on the specials page, coming with a nice dusty finish.
I am getting on with the 1924 Le Mans Bentley and it is coming along nicely. Still a bit of work to do so I think we are looking at releasing in the new year.
Now for a bit of end of year business. The Cull.
