In 1759, Arthur Guinness took a 9000 year lease on a disused brewery at St.
James Gate in Dublin. By the turn of the century he had come to specialize in
a superior version of the black beer then known as Porter - Guinness Extra
Stout.
Guinness was first exported in 1769, and in 1886 Guinness became the first
major brewery to be floated on the London Stock Exchange. By this time, the
Dublin brewery had become the largest in the world.
In 1932 the first Guinness brewery overseas was built, initially amid great
secrecy, on a 131-acre site at Park Royal in west London. The exterior of the
building was designed by leading architect of the day, Sir Giles Gilbert
Scott. Today Park Royal is the home of Guinness Brewing Ltd.
This sharp looking, hard to find 1:76 model, made in 1999, comes with a
numbered Limited Edition Certificate Card, shape of Guinness Beer, in a plastic
display case and a box. Both of the case and box are in like-new condition.

All my models are kept in a smoke-free and pet-free home. This model has
never been out of the box since I bought it except for taking the pictures. It
would make a great addition to your diecast bus/OOC/Guinness model collection!
Scale model for adult collectors, not suitable for children under 14 years of
