Just received mine in the mail. An excellent reference of Britains production since 1st Gear took the reigns.

Has anyone else ordered a copy?

Can you imagine how big that would be

That being said I think the James Opie edition comes pretty close and IMO should be reprinted !!

lol When i said older models i ment stuff from the "New Metal Models" era up to when 1st gear took over which would be 1973 onwards i think? As you pointed out you have the James Opie book for all the older hollowcast stuff

Yes I've got that but it only covers the glossy figures would be nice to have one that covers all of it! Maybe in time someone will make one?

OOOps forgot the matte stuff So many types and periods ( i think it just the matte stuff pre-1st gear that is missing right?)and then there is all of the plastic stuff.....farm.....zoo.....cowboys, indians, knights, hospital, soldiers, acw.......and on it goes.


I think a 2000 page book shoud do it what do you think LOL

Did anyone get the CD? If so, how is it? I have the book, and that is great! More companies should do that too!

The CD contains the catalogue as individual pages in a PDF format and it also has the photos used for the Britains website. There is a folder for each of the different series that they make which contains the pictures.

I paid $7 for the book and the CD, well worth it in my opinion as you can never have too much reference material.

I think I will get the CD, as I currently have every single WBritain piece of paper/catalog/Standard made by First Gear.
