Hi, when Oxford first anounced their +2. I ordered two of each, yellow/silver & blue/silver.
The yellow arrived first not a bad model for the money but the roof gutter moulding was a bit iffy on one side.
When the blue cars turned up,the moulding was much inproved but the rear lamps had been put on upside-down on the wrong side, elan s4 style. Every blue that I have seen so far has had the same mistake.
They've just brought out a red/silver one with oatmeal interIor, which of course I've ordered on ebay.

I understand the next colour is black with silver roof. I am not sure that was ever a factory colour combination. The JPS of course was Black / Gold . They might have missed a trick issuing a Special Edition model by using Gold metalflake instead!
I got a Lagoon Blue one to match the full-size model in the garage!

Hi Alan, thanks for looking, yes i realise mine are a lot more expensive but they are hand made and a much larger scale and I just wanted to show that there is an alternative should anybody be interested.
