Ahhh, Is this not a lovely model, and one of many Farina version, this, the Morris Oxford, in a rather nice green, was, along with the Austin Cambridge, the basis of a number of other versions, only differentiated in the main, by a new front, rear lights, and interior trim, there was
Morris Oxford
Austin Cambridge
MG Magnette
Riley 4/seventy two
Wolseley 15/60
These versions either appeared at the start or during the lifetime of the farina badge engineered models, but I like the Austin and Morris ones better.
VA54000, is the launch model for Vanguards and it is perfect from the start, a great representation of the Oxford, I feel though that maybe they could have done the MG or Roley version, as they are far removed from what is normally released, and would have been a nice change from the big brands like Austin Morris, but that said, the jewelled headlights and working suspension, along with that deep green colour, do make this a version to have in any collection.
