Curses, for a moment there I though that last Vauxhall was part of the 1:148 range

Me too, I guess it was too much to hope for...

Just bought these at Glasgow Vintage Vehicle Trust open day , did not know bailer was available .

The new baler etc...can anyone say what date (roughly) these are from?   Thanks.

[daffy]

The baler looks very much like the type sold through a dealer near my childhood home, when I would have been 14 or so, so that would be the mid-1960's.

The livestock trailer is identical to one on the farm where I lived from 1976 to 2006, where it was in daily use throughout. How long it had been there prior to 1976 don't know.

[Thorpe Parva]

Are these the 1:76 versions?

The baler is unusual as they generally displayed the manufacturer's name/logo and were painted accordingly. This one looks like a generic version.

[daffy]

The baler I was thinking of was a Massey Ferguson, classically red. I'm surprised these models, available from Oxford in 1/76 and 1/148 now, seem oddly generic, as mentioned. Perhaps Oxford had difficulties obtaining permissions to make them more specific to a manufacturer.

Thanks for that information. Master lists updated.

I'm waiting for the baler from Hattons although various other suppliers are showing stock. It does look as though a coat of paint will make it a bit more interesting.

The livestock and open trailer arrived last week.

Thanks for your comments. Yes I think they are generic, and a coat of paint in your chosen colour will make them look a lot better. I reckon I will go for red with the baler...

When I saw Austin Princess I thought it was the BL 80s wedge shaped monster my stepfather had one. It was very comfy as I recall but that's about the only nice thing I can say about it.

Mk3 cortina for me. My second car although in white. Was like driving a football pitch. The screen wash was a rubber bulb in the footwell you had to pump with your foot to get a dribble of screen wash to smear across the windscreen.

Ditto on the vauxhall as well.

Yup, that's what I keep thinking, but it's this earlier version.

My father also had one of the wedge ones, was the last British car he ever owned.

Holds its water quite well though: https://youtu.be/bf7q8lWEd-o?t=7m24s
