I don't know the P3 model itself, however I do have the 1930 P2 by Classic Cars. Two things strike me when I compare it to your P3. First, the wheels of the P2 are better: better tires and largers rims. Secondly, the P2 has a very clear inscription on the bottom. Detail level and finesse of the kits are very comparable, but then this was pretty much the standard for handbuilts in these years. So I think the odds are against Classic Cars.I have a question maybe someone here can answer.
I recently bought a few old models of the 70s, including this one:
I thought it was John Day, but Day never issued a Tipo B (P3), according to all sources. There's no marking under it, except a painted sign (containing maybe a C) and what appears to be a # 48. It may or may not relate to the manufacturer catalogue number, or any identification making sense for who assembled it.
I'm sure I have a picture of this very model somewhere, but it is definitely not in Rampini nor in the miniature magazine I have, and I failed to find back the pic which is impressed in my memory.
Browsing Fer's listing, the likely candidates might be Classic Cars or Plumbie Inter, as it is white metal and represents a 1934, cart sprung Tipo B (not the Stanley 1935 Dubonnet version, shown in the background).
Anyone owns the same and/or can identify it?
Thanks
