Vanguards


Vangaurd P5 models

Lledo Vanguards brought out a P5 Saloon, once again a Mk2, available from February 2002. A two tone variant in Stone Grey / Juniper Green was the initial release, with a monotone Steel Blue variant coming as part of a 3 car set with a P4 and a P6. A monotone black version was available as part of a 2 car special offer promoted by Model Collector magazine, the other car being a white P6.

The Steel Blue car was subsequently released as an limited edition, and further limited edition releases have featured the car in Burgundy; Grey /Navy Blue; White and Pine Green paint schemes.

RC1002/1 Black, exclusive "Model Collector" magazine offer.

VA06900 Stone Grey / Juniper Green, Feb 2002 release

VA06903 Steel Blue, July 2002 release

VA06904 Burgundy, December 2002 release

VA06905 Marine Grey / Light Navy , 2003 release

VA06907 White, July 2004 release

VA06908 Pine Green; March 2006 release

Look for these models at your local specialist model shop or toyfair; expect to pay around £10:00 each, more for the black edition.


There is also a Lledo Collectors Club limited edition of 500 designated VA06906, supplied in a chrome finish. If you find one of these on offer for under £100 it's a bargain!

Let's hope that they follow up with a P5B Coupé to the same standard!

Marque Models


Similar in style to the Autosculpt, this is a cast pewter model mounted on a base plate, in the unusual scale of 1:57!

The model itself is a bit of a hybrid, as it has the wheels and side mouldings of a P5B, but the front panel of a P5 (no fog lamps).
