These charming models at the virtual
Motomini museum come from
Britains co. An old (est. 1860) English Company specializing in toy soldiers. Their motorcycles are in the traditional 54mm (1:32) a scale common to the toy soldiers they create. The early pieces were made from lead alloys and mainly featured military motorcycles. Starting in the 1970s, common bikes-along with Cafe Racers-were represented along with popular American style choppers.
Britains is still active today and have issued few military style bikes, - thier models have until very recently still been made in England.

Triumph 500cc Speed Twin

(Note the handsome packaging Britians always had with thier models...)
