T is for Two - Britains Armoured Cars

Just a quick one today, bit of lead to add to the pile! Actually it's not mine; both shot at Sandown about a year apart, thanks to Adrian for both.

The posh end of the market got you this rather smart beast in it's velvety-red box, based - I think - on a 1925 Vickers-Crossley pattern with rubber-tyred wheels, revolving turret and two-tone paint scheme, it's a beauty for it's age, but only for the son's, godson's and nephew's of the 'gentry' one suspects!

However! the poor could wish for this under the tree come Christmas morn', a slush-cast (sixpenny?) toy based on similar designs from the 'States and aimed at tighter-budgets - it has exactly the same play value when you're six or seven! And a bigger gun!
