Yet another new 1:43 model maker has arrived, with Staples and Vine producing these two Land Speed Record cars as the first of many LSR cars. "Sculpted by hand and cast entirely in pewter, they are in the same ‘house style’ as their aircraft and tank ranges, but are designed to be removable from their bases. They are available with or without figures and mark the beginning of a new ‘Land Speed Car Range’, so you can expect to see many more of these vehicles in the future." Both cars are limited to just 100 of each and come mounted on a 11.2″ x 4.5″ (285 x 115 mm) base. Blue Bird is 200mm in length and the T80 is 190mm. Each Blue Bird model is priced at £125 (£155 with figures) and the T80 is £110 (£140). Each handmade limited-edition model comes with a history of the car, and a numbered certificate signed by the sculptor. For more information, pictures and details of how to order, visit www.staplesandvine.com, or call Sera Staples on +44 (0)1237 459102. www.collectors-club-of-great-britain.co.uk/news/staples-and-vines-record-breakers/

Very nice, but pricing makes these unlikely to end up in my collection.

Yes, very nice and the price isn't too bad considering the quality and size of the models. Unfortunately, both of these cars have been modelled before, the Merc by Neo and the Bluebird by Bizarre which will undoubtedly affect sales.

Yikes! Just when I thought I had shaken the LSR bug! Look nice and pewter is a bit unusual. May have to acquire that Bluebird!
