I had vowed not to get into scale car collecting, but when I visited eminent scale Ford collector Dave Turner in England in 2001, he gave me a Vanguards Mk III Zephyr 4. I joked about it at the time, but it looked lonely on the shelf by itself, and then I discovered Minichamps! However ever since I was kid I was fascinated by dioramas, and this year my kids’ interest in setting up a Christmas Village, merged with my pent up desire to put my scale Fords in front of an interesting background and here we are!

Just last week I actually bought a “O” scale model railroad enthusiast magazine, to see what might be possible. Next year’s Christmas Village might be a bit bigger.

Last night I was checking 1:43 scale Fords on Germany (50 pages) and Holland (80 pages!). Fascinating stuff, but I couldn’t stay up late enough to look at them all.

Here is a link to many more pictures of my 1:43 scale Ford collection: http://forum.love-fords.org/showthread.php?t=782

Cheers,

Michael

Some nice ones there.

Who made that Mk III Cortina? Are those Vangaurd Granadas or from somewhere else?

Thanks for posting these.

The Granadas and the Cortina are Vanguards. They make great models and a nice price. I'll take some more pics and post them when I have a chance...

Th first pic is a dinky and a politoy mk 1. Both mint originals.

After Thanksgiving I spent some time looking at scale Fords on the internet. A month later I find myself the owner of eight more 1:43 scale Euro-Fords.

Here are a few pictures.

This thread is for EVERYONE, but I seem to be the one most fired about about scale Fords.
