Hello Bonnie,
In the USA, best place is Triple-C. They have a very large line of
British
stuff. Check out their WEB site at http://www.triple-c.com or call them at
(717)854-4081 and fax at (717)-854-6706. Triple-C also has die-cast cars,
bronze paperweights, and a long line of car stuff. Ask them for a catalog too.
You might also try your local Triumph Club to see if they have a regalia sales
person. This way you support the club and get a nice gift for your boss (unless
he is looking to market the stuff!)
There are Pewter car paperweights on a polished dark wood base
availiable from
the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust in Gaydon, UK. Cost is £18 plus £1
P&P, and 25 % for shipping to the USA, so figure about $39 USD delivered to your
door. The reference part number for all the Pewter models is 300386 followed by
the model name of the car desired. I know they have the 1800/2000 Roadster,
Spitfire, TR6, and Stag, ask about the others.
John Macartney on the Triumph e-mail list who works at the BMIHT, and
if you
ask, he will most likely send you a list of what Triumph models they stock. Or,
you can call the BMIHT gift shop direct , from the USA by dialing
011-44-1926-64118 or fax 011-44-1926-641555 with your order request and charge
card information. Also request a catalog, plus they have one on CD-ROM for
about $8.00 with some good historical pictures on it.
