Since 2010 Oxford Diecast have started to produce a special show model in a commerative wrap. These have become collectors items, with some making sure they collect every one in the range.

Due to Covid-19 the 52nd Great Dorset Steam Fair was postponed until 2022.

The vehicle belonged to Michael Oliver M.B.E. - He founded the Great Dorset Steam Fair over 40 years ago. The Bedford TK was produced by the Vauxhall-owned Bedford company. It was introduced in 1959 and had a variety of uses, including fire engines, military vehicles, flatbed trucks and other specialist utility vehicles. The letter 'T' stood for 'Truck'. It epitomised the perfect lightweight truck and remained so until the end of the 1970s. Available as a rigid truck as well as a tractor unit, it proved very versatile and its longevity speaks for itself, as it is still used in some developing countries even today.

The Burrell No. 3938 was built in 1922 for William Wilson of Peckham in South London, to generate power for his steam driven Rodeo Switchback ride. She was sold in the mid 1930s to another showman/amusement contractor Wall's of Petersfield in Hampshire. After a long working career, 'Quo Vadis' was eventually sold for scrap in 1948 but fortunately, she was saved in 1959 by Mr E C Hine of Shaftesbury in Dorset. Although she was by that time in a very sad state of repair, 'Quo Vadis' was retrieved and restored to her former glory. Since then, she has changed hands several times. 'Quo Vadis' has been the flagship steam vehicle for the Great Dorset Steam Fair from the very beginning, with the late founder Michael Oliver taking her all over the country in the early years to promote this key event in the vintage steam vehicle calendar, attended by steam enthusiasts from all over the world.

Fowler DNA Class Road Roller, No. 18874 'Lord Jellicoe' registered TK5449.
In real life, it was built in 1930 for F Sharp & Sons of Blandford. Named 'Lord Jellicoe', the roller later passed to the Hine Brothers of Shaftesbury and then in 1968 was bought by Michael Oliver, the founder of the Great Dorset Steam Fair. It stood derelict for many years, complete with tree stumps growing through the chimney. Restoration work commenced in 2005, resulting in a pristine 'Lord Jellicoe' which now appears every year at the Great Dorset Steam Fair.

This Aveling and Porter 1:76 scale Oxford roller looks a real workhorse. Its wonderfully muted, almost dirty green body shows it is getting down to the job in hand of rolling out the road and spreading the red hot tar macadam. Just love the smell!
The technical detailing is superb: the roller holder/frame is painted bright red, the roof top slate grey with the underside clay brown and the steering wheel signal red, while the roller and outer wheels are given a light buff finish. The engine registered MK 128 belongs to Robert Bate of Fordhouses, Wolverhampton according to the lettering on the side of the roof. The name of the engine Crusader is printed in red and gold on the side of the boiler and the whole model is lined out in a finely detailed gold, black, white and yellow finish.
It really looks the part along with the newly tooled Coleman Flapper Tar Spreader towed behind
