Description
c1980's British Roadace Replica 1950's-70's Jaguar model collection. Two with slight damage, The blue and white 1965 has a chip behind the back right wheel shown in the pics, 1966 with big white stripes has a tiny nick on corner of back tailfin as shown. The Average Wood base measures 2 3/8" x 1 3/8", car approx 1.5 or 35mm long. Selling the Exact 3 cars shown. These are all quite rare as they were not mass produced, historically they tend to average $125-$200 each. If I were to split up this group I would want towards the higher end for just one but could potentially work a deal on several. I'll be offering other makes and models separately, these are really fantastic.
Roadace Replicas were made by hand in Mannamead, Plymouth, England in the 1970s to 1990s. Principals were A. K. Dolton and B. E. Dolton. Principal subjects have been sports and GT cars, sports racing cars, and Formula 1 racing cars.
Models were cast in resin and individually painted by hand, including such details as hood louvers, aperture lines, and spokes on wire wheels. Plastic was used for flat windscreens and occasionally metal was formed and used for details like cycle-type fenders. Most are in a scale of 1/100 though, incredibly, some are even smaller.
