This page explains our codings of models since Oxford Diecast started in 1993 Models When Oxford Diecast started we had one product which was the Bullnose and as each vehicle variation was released they were allocated a number. Each number also was given a code to indicate whether the wheel colour was Gold - our first product was the 001 Chesham United this had a black wheel (no letter after number signified black wheels). In addition a separate run was produced with a Gold Wheel for a dinner and this was coded 001G. In 1995 we added our Model T's and we inserted a T into the coding and again commenced at number 1 - 01TG was our first model (Model T with Gold wheels). After this as we added other items we pre-fixed the numbers with letters. In the early days we had a a few coding peculiarities such as X for a grey base and Y for a blue base and some of our certificates were incorrect in spelling. Occasionally a B would appear after the code for a black wheled item The following represents the various codings up to Mar 2005, but this is ever changing.
