OXFORD DIECAST - One of the farina range, the Cambridge is one of Oxfords latest releases.


One of the most recent releases from Oxford Diecast has been the Blue & White Austin Cambridge, it is commonly known as part of the "Farina" range of cars, that were designed with different fronts, rear lights and interiors, dependant on whether it was a Morris, Austin, Wolseley, Riley or MG.

The badge engineered cars became something of a common practice within the British Leyland Motor Corporation of the time, and has been used many times since in various scales from various diecast brands.

Vanguards did an excellent 1/43 scale version, and this one from OD has to be one of the best in this small scale, unfortunately they dont have opening parts, but then when the detail is this good, it does not need it, they usually sell for around £4.50, and is one of a large number i have collected this year that will be listed here.
