The Rootes models were on permanent display at IWM Lambeth up to about 40 years ago. That part of the building was re-arranged at about that time and by coincidence I never visited again so I have no idea if they re- appeared. They were superb models, absolute works of art. Dunlop even made scale Trakgrip tires for them which were also offered for sale by the old British model making company Basset Lowerk (I think that is spelled correctly). I have their catalogue somewhere showing the tires.

Antiques Road Show
Hi David
Couple of years ago some very similar models showed up on the PBS Antiques Road Show, they talked about them being industrial display model's from the Second World War. have some screen shots that I'll try and find and post. Cheers Phil Found the photos, looking back at displays we have seen in museums over the year some really interesting displays come and go. If not on display hope they find homes that appreciate them. Now as to are any of these models the subject of this thread?
