Has any manufacturer ever made an OO gauge, mark 1 buffet (or restaurant) car in InterCity (Executive or swallow) livery?

The one linked by eastdyke is a Replica Railways model and is quite old now hence the chunky tension lock couplings (and plastic wheels maybe?)
Still a good model though.
Bachmann have produced one too...

Not sure about that.
This is the Replica model (circa 1986), which I believe to have been a re-use of the earlier Mainline tooling:

I have a Hornby example, it has metal wheels although as it came to me secondhand they could have been fitted by a previous owner. The Hornby model was in their catalogues for 2001/2/3.

I think I might still have a Replica mk1 buffet in blue and grey kicking around somewhere. I put metal wheeled Lima bogies on it (with spacers to make it run at the right height).
It’s a nicely detailed model considering how old it is.
