Model Icons Announces 1:18 British Police Cars

posted in Diecast, Other Cars |

Today Model Icons announced a few new 1:18 replicas. The first two of these are variations on the Jaguar Mk.II that was announced a couple of weeks ago. These will be immensely popular though, as they are of the famous 1962 Coombes car with the ‘BUY 12’ registration plate, as driven by Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori (MI321001), and a 1968 Jaguar 240 in the livery of the Staffordshire police (MI999001).

Model Icons has also confirmed several other 1:18 British police car replicas as well, namely the 1977 Ford Escort Mk.II of the Hampshire police (MI999002), the 1975 Ford Escort Mk.II of the Thames Valley police (MI999003), the 1985 Ford Escort Mk.III of the Cambridge police (MI999004), the 1987 Ford Escort Mk.III of the Essex police (MI999005), and the 2005 BMW 5 Series of the Metropolitan police (MI999006).

We’ve had customers clamouring for replicas of 1:18 British police cars for years, so these new announcements from Model Icons are definitely going to go down very well indeed!

    Just a pity that Model Icons are going to get it wrong with that Essex Police 1987 Escort model - that shape of the Escort Mk.3 was phased out at the of 1985 (C reg) and replaced by the facelifted Mk.4(or Mk.3b as some call it). An E reg’ed Escort would have definitely been a Mk.4 !

    I might just add that the Ford Escort models appear to be using the Sun Star moulds … either that or they are an exact copy!
