This Daimler SP250 Diecast Model Car is Royal Red and has working wheels and also comes in a display case. It is made by Oxford Diecast and is 1:43 scale (approx. 9cm / 3.5in long). This release has a celebrity feel to it - being a replica of TV presenter and motoring journalist Quentin Willson's car. It comes as an open topped version with cherished number plate UGS 5 and is painted a superb gloss red. Manufactured by the Daimler Company in Coventry between 1959 and 1964 - the SP250 was the last car to be launched by Daimler before its parent company sold the marque to Jaguar Cars in 1960. Originally described as a 2 + 2 sports car - it came with a fibreglass body - either a 4-speed manual or 3-speed automatic gearbox and fitted with a 2.5 litre iron-block V-8 140 hp engine. Our model features a black interior with detailed dashboard instrument panel - automatic transmission gear stick - printed interior door handle and window winder handle and black flooring. The folded hood behind the seats is also black. There is a single driver's side wing mounted mirror. Further attention to authentic detail sees the model with spoked wheel hubs and bumpers with over-riders.

Diecast models are manufactured to various scales based on measurements taken from the actual vehicles. The rule to remember is the higher the scale number, the smaller the model!

So, 1:2 scale quite ltierally means it is 1/2 (half) the size and 1:4 scale means it is 1/4 (quarter) the size.  Here is a rough guide to the size of our models although this will vary depending on the size of the actual vehicle. Please note that the scale and size of models differs per department. Please refer to the individual product page to find out the estimated size of the actual model you would like to purchase.
