EDITORIAL
By Rod WardREGULARS IN THIS ISSUE
We seem to be returning to a full house of regular contributors to MAR. Some have been poorly, others just taking a sabbatical, but almost everyone is now back aboard, and many have already sent or promised enough articles and features to fill our pages for the next six months. It's amazing when you consider how busy everyone is these days, so I'm very grateful for the commitment everyone shows to the success of Model Auto Review. Those of you who only read this on the internet may not be aware that the print version of MAR also has loads of articles and features not re-published here, plus a very busy correspondence section and an average of 300 photographs in every issue.APPRECIATION IN VALUE
This issue's competition prize is the Trax Holden HQ one-tonner, which originally cost $38 Australian Dollars when first released in July. Showcase, the official magazine of the West Australian Model collectors Club, notes that eBay auctions have recently raised $100 and more for these models, of which 3000 were made. Quite a healthy rate of appreciation, and a valuable prize...NO STRIKES?
Overseas readers will be pleased to know that there will be no national strike by Post Office workers in Britain. They voted by a narrow margin not to take strike action in their pay dispute, so the note in MAR 176 about possible delays to mail order deliveries and to deliveries of MAR can be ignored. The threat of industrial action has not entirely gone away, however, as there may be localised stoppages over the next few months, particularly in the London area, with some risk of delays to post.DON ELLIOTT of Missouri has sent a picture as a follow-up to his 'General Lee' article in MAR 176. It is a shot of the Yat Ming Dodge alongside another General Lee clone. This one is a rather play-worn #1057 Yat Ming Plymouth Duster with the same orange paint job and the same Dixie Special on the hood (bonnet). Harvey Goranson of Tennessee notes, by the way, in connection with the Dukes of Hazzard that 'There is a town in the hills of Kentucky called Hazard. I think the producers deliberately chose Georgia for the setting to keep the viewers guessing'. David Taylor of Newtownabbey, sending in his entry for the competition in MAR 176 (winner to be announced in MAR 178) described the Dukes of Hazzard television show in the following way: 'It's a brief history of Confederate extra-mural activities, particularly popular after dark. It includes hog-fartin', fight startin', booze runnin', beer brewin', granny's ruin, no taxation, agent evasion, drivin' skills, whiskey stills, pohleece chases, dirty faces, white suits, big cheroots, Daisy the lassie with the beautiful chassis, cars with Dodgy fuel emissions and lots of crooked politicians. All in the name of General Lee'. Sounds like the show was probably popular in Northern Ireland, then.
CLUB NEWS
Collated by Rod WardThe Lledo Enthusiast and Variations Club:
Another issue of the bi-monthly Enthusiast is here from Bill Alexander, who comments on Lledo's direct mail set-up in Southampton offering gift sets at a third of the original price. He does not regard this as good for loyal collectors who believed the original claim about, 'Maintaining the original value of your investment'. At the same time there are shortages at 'full price' of many items in the marketplace and Bill suggests that someone at Leicester is getting it wrong. If you agree, contact Bill at 33 North Town Moor, Maidenhead, Berks SL6 7JR.Coventry Diecast Model Club:
Mick Russell has regretfully had to announce that he will have to relinquish the post of Editor of Wheelspin, the CDMC magazine. it is certainly a time-consuming and often unappreciated activity, which is essential to the smooth running of any effective club. let's hope that someone steps forward from the expert ranks of the CDMC to take over soon. El Presidente Will Roe recounts the connection between the CDMC and David Nicholl's Ulster Model Club, one of many such links between clubs, which are to be encouraged as clubs become smaller and need mutual support from time to time. If you'd like to join the CDMC and perhaps straight away volunteer for the soon to be vacant post of Wheelspin Editor, ring 024 7630 7700.South Hants Model Auto Club:
in an attempt to keep up with all the talk of food and drink in newsletters from overseas clubs. the SHMAC went one better. they didn't only describe the grub at their Summer barbecue in the Club magazine, they had colour pictures of members eating it. Most of the rest of the magazine was taken up with accounts of members' trips to events at home and abroad. If you'd like to join this merry band of well-travelled gourmets, ring Dave Painter on 01264 366048.Brooklin Collectors Club:
Jack Patrick continues to cram 36 A4 pages with news and pictures of interest to collectors of Brooklin, Lansdowne and Robeddie products. The Club's Annual General Meeting on the 12 October will see a raffle of at least nine models, including six Canadian issues. Nigel Parker, the Managing Director of Brooklin Models will be at the AGM to address the meeting and to answer questions from members of the Club. There is also news of the proposed Brooklin factory visit in May 2004, to coincide with the company's 30th Anniversary. The Club's own promotional model, the Packard, has now closed to subscribers, with a very satisfying 250 ordered. You are now too late to order one, but if you join the Club now, you'll be in time for next year's special model.

The latest issue of Showcase, the WAMCC newsletter, was as packed as usual with interesting news items and features. There was even a heading 'Model Auto Review Comments', except that the news item under this title doesn't mention MAR at all! This issue includes a note of the re-launch of the Quartzo brand, with Lotus 49 and Lotus 72 models. It makes one wonder what the situation is for the new owners of the brand, in regard to liabilities and duties of the old ownership. For instance, what about the licenses for use of various trade marks and copyright designs? It seems likely that there would be various licenses still ongoing at the time Vitesse group collapsed, taking Quartzo with it, and there were undoubtedly stocks of models unsold around the world. Did the licenses die with the company? Are any such unsold items also now thus unlicensed? If Vitesse ordered models from a sub-contractor, but never actually completed the licensing deal, can the sub-contractor now sell them, to try to realise some return on the lost profit? Or are they 'illegal'? If the brand was sold to a new owner, what benefits and liabilities were sold with it? Did it include any licenses still uncompleted? If a dealer is offered unsold Quartzo models, made under the previous ownership, can he re-sell them? Or will he incur the wrath of the owner of the copyrights? It is obvious that a long-obsolete toy or model in the livery of, say, Coca-Cola, will not be subject to lawsuits over copyright protection when it is sold today. Equally, it is obvious that a newly-made item in Coke livery will be prosecuted vigorously if it is unlicensed. So what happens in the case of a recently-obsolete item, made by a now defunct range? All of this can of worms came to mind thanks to Showcase. For membership info ontact Editor Ian Hind (email jhind@iinet.net.au)Maidenhead Static Model Club:
A recent issue of Wheel Bearings, the MSMC monthly newsletter, included lots of pictures of members judging items on display at a Club night. It reminds us just how much of an ageing population supports this hobby. White hair and bald heads rule, and any new member under 60 joining would lower the average age of any Club's membership. It wasn't always this way. Photographs of Club meets and swapmeets in the 1980s show that we could produce enough hair to supply a mattress factory. What will the pictures show in another 20 years? All wheelchairs and Zimmer frames, or just an eerily empty room? The MSMC is still young at heart, however, with trips to Continental swapmeets, and a planned trip to the Jaguar Browns Lane factory. The club also organises the regular 'Windsor' (Slough) Toy Fairs. If you are young enough to lower the average age profile, ask for more details on membership of this long-established Club from John Garside on 07729 910632.Book Reviews: Invitation
We invite reviews of books for publication in future MAR issues.
They should follow our standard format, as seen on this page, and be as concise as possible, plus a picture of the front cover if possible. We have quite stock of unpublished reviews, and have been are asked why a particular review has not been published, after soliciting them from readers. So, here is the order of preference if you want your review to be published:
1: Books on toy or model
subjects, in any language2: Books on other automotive
subjects of interest to our readers
in the English language.3: Thematic automotive works of
interest to our world wide reader
ship in any language.4: Other auto books, any language.
No matter how long we have had reviews in stock in category 4, for instance, a new review in category 1 will always go to the top of the pile for consideration for inclusion in a future issue of MAR.
Not of any interest, in most cases, are reviews of magazines, catalogues etc.
If in doubt, contact us to see if it is worth your efforts preparing a review of a specific title you have found, and sending it in to MAR.
Publishers and authors are invited to submit books for review, but we cannot guarantee that any submitted work will be reviewed, or if it is included in a future issue, that it will be given a glowing review.
BUS STOP
EXCLUSIVE FIRST EDITIONS
by Frank JoyceThe next livery for the EFE London Tube Stock will be the modern corporate livery of red, white and blue as applied to a full set of carriages used on the Northern Line. These carriages were standard 1959 stock and looked modern and striking in this livery. A few readers are aware or have heard about my health. For some time I have been suffering with a heart problem caused by narrowing of the arteries around the heart. To help relieve the problem I spent several days in Bart's Hospital having stents fitted to inflate the arteries around the heart muscle. A stent is a titanium steel tube, which is inflated to about 3mm diameter and with 78mm in place, I am being tagged Metal Mickey and Robocop. I am however feeling better and have more energy.
We have experienced a couple of 'factory errors' on models recently: we were able to catch and rectify one, but the other was only discovered after the model had been released. London Transport enthusiasts will be pleased to know that the Coronation RT does not have the flashers shown on the illustrations. The East Yorkshire Daimler Utility, however, was made with the Guy Arab II radiator and chassis. The use of inter-changeable tooling, which allows us to make these variations, inevitably has the potential for error. East Yorkshire also ran Guy Arab II Utilities and we intend to correctly identify the remaining stock, but there is nothing that we can do about the released models which will make them valuable as 'genuine factory errors', but if you really cannot accept the model, we'll exchange it for a correct model.
Models now released.

Minichamps 1:43 diecast in China for Germany:
439 141020 Magirus Deutz S6500 tilt drawbar, as first presented at the 1951 Frankfurt Auto Show. Its new rounded bonnet made the other exhibits look old-fashioned. This bonnet shape was possible due to the air-cooled engines which did not need a bulky radiator in front. The S6500 was designed to carry 6.5 tons payload, a rather theoretical figure in the early fifties.The German the economy was growing quickly every year, so overloading was the rule. The engine of the S6500 was an air-cooled 175hp 10.7 litre V8 diesel. Many old folk still recall its typical howling noise. From 1955 the almost unchanged heavy truck range was renamed S7500 Jupiter to fit into the 'planets' name system started by Magirus Deutz. The payload was increased to 7.5 tons. The following years saw Jupiters mainly going for export, as German legislation prohibited registration of such heavy trucks, to promote German railways, Deutsche Bundesbahn. In 1959 production of the Jupiter came to an end. The model truck is brilliantly finished and highly detailed, even the registration plates are authentic for 1945 to 1956, white lettering on a black ground. AW means US-occupied Württemberg. In grey and black it is limited to 2,016 pieces. 439 159095 trailer with tilt, 1946, grey and black two axle trailer to fit to the Magirus Deutz S 6500, also excellently detailed with movable towbar, spare wheel and lights. It is also limited to 1,400 pieces.

NEWS: BRITAIN
HUDSON TERRAPLANE
Here is a little more information on the new 1:43 handbuilt model from Brooklin, BRK102, the 1936 Hudson Terraplane Custom 6-62 four door sedan, pictured in the centre pages of this issue. Brooklin say, 'The Terraplane name dates back to 1932. The new Essex Terraplanes were introduced in a fanfare of publicity at a grand gathering in Detroit. Aviatrix Amelia Earhart smashed a bottle of aviation gasoline on the radiator of a car, followed by a mass dealer driveaway of around 2,000 brand new Terraplanes. This new range was intended to compete directly with Ford and Chevrolet as a lower pliced, smaller alternative to larger Hudson models. By 1936 the Essex brand had long since disappeared and Terraplane was a marque in its own right. The senior Hudsons shared much with the junior Terraplanes in terms of styling, some bodywork, suspension and braking systems. There were two passenger car series, the Deluxe 6 and Custom 6, both with 115 inch wheelbases. In addition there was the Commercial Car line with four models and two bodyless chassis versions. The passenger cars were available as two and four door sedans, coupes and convertibles whilst the commercial line included pickups sedan deliveries and a woody. Our model is finished in Montana Green'.AUSTRALIAN HERO
Some additional information is being squeezed out of the captions referring to the colour pages due to lack of space, so here is a bit more background on the Vanguards 1:43 diecast Ford Cortina Mk 1 GT, second in the Heroes of Australian Motor Sport Collection of three cars released this year. It celebrates the career of Bob Jane, one of only 14 drivers to win the 500 mile race at Mount Panorama more than once. Bob Jane was co-driver in Harry Firth's Cortina in 1963 and drove the winning Cortina GT in 1964. Bob Jane went on to record four straight victories in the race.HERE'S a rarity for collectors of 'Thunderbirds' items: a set of garments to dress your dolly in Lady Penelope style. These were in the 'Dollie Dressmaker' range made in 1972 by Meccano Ltd, ready to cut and sew up with your Jones-Meccano toy sewing machine. Lady P's outfits were available in blue-green (catalogue number 007 - really) or lemon-pink (catalogue number 008), to fit any 11 or 12 inch tall 'teenage' dolls, such as those made at the time by ranges such as Barbie, Sindy, Tressy, or Lady Penelope. Each set of pre-printed cotton garments cost 14s 11d (75p).
THE RETURN OF LADY P
FAB 1 was the striking pink 'Rolls-Royce' owned by Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward and driven by her loyal chauffeur Parker in the Thunderbirds television series, which was masterminded by Gerry Anderson. Corgi are releasing a new version of FAB1 to coincide with the new Thunderbirds film. As member of the International Rescue team Lady Penelope needed a car capable of handling the demands of an undercover agent's lifestyle. FAB1 fitted the bill, a powerful, six-wheel Rolls-Royce with radiator-mounted cannon and twin sniper-sighted machine guns at the front, combined with rear-mounted harpoons, smoke-screen generators and dual cannons. For sea missions a Vortex-Aquajet hydrofoil could be activated, though it is not included on the Corgi model. Corgi's 1:43 scale model does, however, include working front and rear firing missiles concealed in the radiator grille and rear headlights. It is available from November, priced at around £15.00 in the UK. If you would like to see a colour picture of the Corgi model of the pink behemoth, it was included on the back cover of Model Auto Review 173.ITALY
Bburago 1:18 diecast from Italy: 34094 Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Mille Miglia 1955. From 1957 this race over public roads was stopped for many years after the terrible crash of the Marquis de Portago when he, his co-driver and ten spectators died. Back in 1955, Mercedes-Benz had launched their new sports car, the 300SLR, and this race was its debut with famous racing drivers, Juan Manuel Fangio, Hans Herrmann, Karl Kling and Stirling Moss. The latter's car carried number 722, denoting the start time. With his co-driver, joumalist Dennis Jenkinson, he won the race, to everyone's surprise. The car had a 2982cc straight eight engine with petrol injection, a manual five speed gearbox, rear wheel drive and drum brakes on all four wheels. The fuel tank of the 1000 mile version had a capacity of 318 litres. The maximum speed was around 288 km/h. Bburago's model is shaped very accurately, but some obvious split lines spoil its otherwise good appearance, as do the carelessly applied number decals. The interior features thes tartan seats and has all instruments and controls. (Notes Hans-Georg Schmitt).
Bburago 1:18 diecast from Italy: 34911 Volkswagen Touareg 2003. Introduced in November 2002, the first huge cross country vehicle by Volkswagen is now in its second year of production. Developed by Porsche together with their similar Cayenne, the Touareg has a V10 diesel engine, the most powerful car diesel in the world. Bburago have done an excellent job. The body, in fashionable black, is accurately shaped. The bonnet, all four doors and tailgate open realistically and the steering works. The accurate interior includes not only the instruments, but also the door linings and seats, even the seat belts are there with their red locks. The baseplate is outstandingly detailed. This Bburago model can be obtained initially only from Volkswagen dealers, as it was made in the first place as a promotional model. In late Autumn it will appear in model car and other shops. (Notes Hans-Georg Schmitt).

The 180 range, with internal works designation W120, was introduced in September 1953. The very positive response to the first new design to come from Mercedes-Benz after the war can be attributed to three factors. This completely new vehicle had an integral body and chassis, a first for the company, and it had modem 'Pontoon' body with rounded lines. There were just flanges on the fully integrated mudguards; the running boards and separate headlamps had gone. Only the classic radiator grille remained. This Pontoon shape reduced aerodynamic drag, which in turn reduced wind noise. At the same time the interior was more roomy and visibility was appreciably improved. The third criterion was the handling of the 180, which was far superior to that of its predecessor, the 170. The competition could not compete with such comfort and vibration-free running. Many features of the interior originated in the 170, but due to the fine workmanship and clear layout this was no detriment. The only aspect that gave rise to criticism was that it had the same four cylinder engine as its predecessor, the M136, delivering 52 bhp. The Pontoon also included the type 180D (D for Diesel) that came out in 1954, representing another milestone for Mercedes-Benz. The W12 established the legend of a long life and economy, and also changed the firm over to mass-production techniques. In the nine years of its existence over 440,000 of the Pontoon car range were built. The model car is a very accurate representation, and in addition the bonnet and front doors open, and the steering works. The dash-board is an exact replica, but the engine could be a bit more detailed. The baseplate detail, however, compensates for that. The colour combinations are also authentic. Black was the most popular colour for this car in the 1950s, but light grey was also quite popular. A big gap in the choice of Mercedes-Benz 1:18 models has been closed with this new release. (Notes Hans-Georg Schmitt).

One of the most important official world premieres at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2003 was the unveiling of the Quattroporte, the new flagship of Maserati. The concept of this Italian luxury saloon combines style and elegance with performance and driving pleasure, the characteristics of a true Maserati. The five metre Pininfarina-designed body hides a 400hp V8 engine. Built in their expensively- refurbished plant in Modena, the Quattroporte will go on sale in Europe in the spring, and will reach the United States in summer 2004. Mattel's 1:18 model looks as impressive as the original, the front doors and bonnet open, but the door hinges are oversize. The engine and baseplate could be more detailed, but the wheels look very good. The dashboard and front door linings are finished accurately but the rear door linings are only suggested. The third brake lamp at the bottom of rear screen is missing. The diecast body is painted metallic grey, the rear bumper and lower body are moulded in plastic, showing a colour difference. The interior is moulded in black. (Notes, Hans-Georg Schmitt).
