Here's a fun idea that might give this forum a kick in the pants.

Show us your favorite/any Lesney in 1:1 imagery.

Practically born with a Fiat #56 in my hand.

Recently seeing a 1:1 pic gave me a whole new appreciation for it's tidy yet somehow sexy form.


Soak in the beautiful Italian countryside in this gorgeous black 1500.

Check the clear park lens. Must be an earlier car than the white one.



The grill is much bigger here, and the rubber tips on the bumper guard tells me this car is most likely 1970 or newer.

Note that the park lights have changed again.
Ain't this color dreamy? Looks like a blue spruce on wheels.

On to the rear. Sensible yet stylish.


A very handsome Estate model was also available to those lucky Continental dwellers.


Can't imagine letting this jewel rot.
Ghia had there hand in making a few 1500 under their pen.


Dude...no fricken way!
Love the white bumpers!

The only other King Size that's remotely close is the K-18 Articulated Horse Box, but that's on a medium duty chassis.

I have the Twin Tippers in both regular and Speed Kings.
All those speed wheels on the later one is a trip.
Crazy play value with fun colors.

#25 '68? Ford Cortina. Cool to see some of these Lesneys used factory colors.


For those Sunday trips to church or just hanging it all out at Castle De Godiva;

Yes, the #44a is a Silver Cloud, but maybe older than your white example.
Around '60-ish they had 4 headlights.
Prior to that, like the #44a, you'll find only 2 headlights.

Here's a Phantom V of the correct Lesney-like James Young body.

And like about any other rolls, you'll find this same basic model with different coach builder's work, and different years, etc.

I believe the Phantom was still made well past the point of the Silver Cloud years,
past '66 when the modern looking Silver Shadow/Bentley S1 started.
