In 2001 Roberts was also commissioned by a private collector to make 25 Ford Wreckers - the 1948 pick-up with a Brooklin crane jib. These were finished in pale green with red jibs and wheels and full custom-made decals. After these he stopped making models in larger numbers, concentrating on one-offs or very small runs. Most of those were individual commissions and many became part of the official Brooklin range with the factory using the same modifications to create new versions of standard models. The last set of models Robert made was the 1956 Buick Riviera with a run of 12, all different in colors (these were preordered and the buyer selected the color).
Roberts' models are generally not marked.
