Okay, they're not models you can build, but they're damn useful for dioramas, which is what prompts me to draw your attention to:

Oxford have a 1/76th Standard Vanguard car in their 2012 range (probably out soon if not already) and it's available in both civvie black and RAF blue . Now the RAF had loads of Vanguards so this is an ideal vehicle to park next to the 1950s jet of your choice instead of a Landrover.

Just the job to carry your new Airfix Valiant's crew out to their aircraft.  ;D
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
