Back to main Brooklin section! | About Lansdowne Models
First Introduced in 1993, Lansdowne Models are a collection of popular British classics spanning over 40 years of British motor history. Manufactured by Brooklin Models in Bath, Avon.The Brooklin collection is an evolving series of 1:43 scale models from America's automotive past - perhaps the most influential cars in the world. These models are precision cast in heavy white metal from handcrafted patterns and painted individually in authentic colours with chromed brightwork, white wall tyres where applicable and simulated glass windows. The Brooklin Collection represents over four decades of the American Automotive industry with new models being introduced on a regular basis and are acknowledged as being the best value-for-money, hand built collectables in the world.Brooklin Models are recognised as the world's leading manufacturer of 1:43 scale, collectable, white metal model automobiles and trucks. Cast in white metal, the 'weighty', realistic feel to our models make them highly desirable and collectable.They have made many recent enhancements and additions throughout the entire range and with continued development of their skills and methods in manufacturing, we believe the end product is more realistic than ever.All Brooklin models are carefully hand-built, often involving many individual pieces. The average production run for a model over a five year period rarely exceed 3,000 units, compared to die-cast, which are produced in hundreds of thousands. This naturally gives Brooklin models a much higher collectable and rairity factor.
