Tribute to Graham Hill

sflude — Thu, 30 May 2013 17:08:19 +0000

Jim’s latest `Hereos` piece is his tribute to the late, great Graham Hill OBE.
Approved by Bette and Damon Hill and Clive Chapman of Classic Team Lotus, its a superbly detailed model inspired by Graham in his Lotus 49B.
The model would have been with us a while ago but the shipment was held up with our Nigel Mansell piece, by the Chinese export authorities.
Its due in stock with us by the end of June. Its a limited edition of only 600 pieces worldwide and so act early if you want one.
To reserve a piece, contact your local stockist or email Simon Flude via this site or at shf@fludes-sh.com

At Last – More Mansells

sflude — Thu, 30 May 2013 16:56:30 +0000

With apologies to all those of you that have been waiting patiently for news, we can now, with a sigh of relief, confirm that the Chinese authorities have released the 2nd batch of our Nigel Mansell tribute piece for export.
They held it up for over a month whilst we proved our authority to use all the sponsor logos the model features.
That was an extensive challenge!
So long as the ship does not sink on the way, we should have them in stock by the end of June.
