Now, this is an early Vanguards model, note the plastic covers for the lights and there is no working suspension, also the wheels are not independent, and by that i mean the the front two and rear two are set, so no single wheel movement, like the more modern Vanguards.
Its not one of my favourites, but it does have a charm, it was made by Austin under the BMC (British Motor Corporation) banner, it was a successful model too, with over 220,000 being made, in its lifetime, today that would be seen as a failure, but back then it was very good indeed. The Vanguards is very basic, but its cute, in a way that lots of the small Austin's of the time were.
Like the other listed so far, this was to be a Plinth project so it is without all it;s paperwork and box, but it does sit nicely on display.
