Model Vanguard Feature

Feature on Vanguards in model form!

OK, Vanguard fans, get ready to salivate!

Here are photographs of Vanguard models that I have collected. Note that I have only collected the photos, not the models themselves!

Corgi Vanguard 1:

Model 153 was produced both with and without rear wheel spats. It appears to have come in these two shades of fawn, or blue, as below:

 

Here it is mint with box, in fawn,

 

.................and in blue

 

Kenna Vanguard 1

 

Kenna produced the Vanguard 1 in Saloon, Pickup, Van and Estate form, these were white-metal kits, available to assemble and paint yourself, or in ready painted form:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Triang:

 

Triang produced these Mimic plastic models with a push to go motor

Corgi:

These are models of the Phase 3 Vanguard in lemon, or red and pale blue. Some had a flywheel motor

Unknown makers:

These are a selection that I have not yet identified. If you know any more about them, please let us know on our messageboard:

 

Left appears to be an ambulance with the Star of David on the roof

 

Below left is crude metal model., just about distinguishable as a Vanguard 2, who made it?

 

Below right is a blue plastic "jellymould" of unknown origin

And finally, 2 shots of this unknown metal Phase 1 with a large clockwork motor:

 

 


I am aware that there are other models and information that could be added to this page to make it more comprehensive, so if you have material and photographs, please let me know.  Please send me, Phil Homer,  an email
