Win a Vanguards/Corgi Vauxhall Patrol Car

21 July, 2015

This month, the long arm of the law grasped us by the scruff of our necks and, with a hefty-looking truncheon waved under our noses, we were forced to select a police car as this month’s prize model.

Our prize is a Vanguards/Corgi 1:43 die-cast model of the 16-valve 2.0-litre Vauxhall Cavalier Mk2 as used by the Ministry of Defence Police Agency — resplendent in ‘jam-butty’ livery.

Thanks to the good guys at Toymod Ltd — the New Zealand Vanguards/Corgi distributors — we’ve got one of these MOD Cavaliers to give away to a lucky reader; just answer the question in the form below. The competition closes on August 20, 2015 so enter quick.

For the young Dave Blyth, the Sandman was always the coolest car and he finally got one when he was 50. “I have always had a rule. When you turn 50, you buy or can afford to buy the car you lusted after when you were 20. I was 20 in 1979 and the HZ Sandman came out in 1978. It was the coolest of the cool — I just wanted one,” he says. “Back then a Sandman cost $4500 new and a house was worth about $20,000. I made about $30 a week so it was an impossible dream then.”
Dave was heavily influenced by the panel van culture of the time. “I started with an Escort panel van and upgraded to a Holden HD panel van with a 186ci six cylinder. I started a van club, Avon City Vans.

It took 19 years for Steve Radich to achieve his dream of owning a Skyline Hakosuka, but what he ended up with is perfection in an extremely low-kilometre example which is our cover feature in this issue.
Back in 2005, Steve hatched a plan to one day own his dream Skyline: the legendary Hakosuka. Over the next 15 years, the list of Skylines Steve bought and sold went as follows. First was a 1998 Nissan Skyline GT, with two doors too many. It was replaced with a red GTT of the same year, but with the correct number of doors! Finally, in 2020, Steve found himself looking at a white 1999 GTR sitting in his shed.
“I was well down the path of getting to the dream of trading my way to owning a Hakosuka,” he says.”
Don’t forget that this edition also comes with our FREE huge wall poster. This issue features a fully restored 1968 Ford Cortina GT Mark II.
