Wanted - Tor Line Model

In the late 60's when I worked for Tor Line we produced a small plastic cased model of our Pax ferries "Tor Anglia"/"Tor Hollandia" - these were given to trailer operators, travel agents, etc.

My model has been lost and I would like to purchase a replacement. Does anyone have one for sale?
