Junkman Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Oh la la la Lend Rovaire surely must be one of my next big purchases.I snored through an eBay auction recently, where a civilian minter with the trailer ultimately went for 15 quid.I could bloody eat my shoes for missing out on that one. eddyramrod and mercrocker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felly Magic Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 JM clearly is a winner. I got my bridge camera out last night & snapped the Vanguards SD1 Vitesse, fettled XR2 and chav edition Fiesta L, that camera really picked up the oversized metallic flakes in the XR2 paint. I wish they'd do a Ghia version with vinyl roof and Ghia alloys.

59Impala Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 The ones still having access to a memory may remember that I snatched this at a recent toy fair. Well, today I received a parcel from that France.It contained this: Which enables me to do this: But wait, that's not all! In the haul containing the boat, there was also this: It's my only Norev with a tow bar, so it's been relegated to do this: But wait! That's not all! I also got this vintage Norev promotional kit: They made bags from non warping plastic, matchbooks to enable kids to set their models on fireand stickers to be stuck to white R16s!I believe that the boat and trailer were originally sold as a set with a 1957 Chrysler New Yorker convertible as the tow car. I am knowing this as I have such a set and have a feeling that I must have bought it when I was knee high to a grasshopper on a day trip to that France place. If I wasn't feeling so lazy I'd take a photo or two but I'm all comfy on the couch. Should you wish to see this magnificent combo I'll venture into the model car museum upstairs in Impala Towers when I'm feeling livelier with my trusty camera device. Other Norevs are lurking in the museum as well! Datsuncog, RayMK and eddyramrod 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I believe that the boat and trailer were originally sold as a set with a 1957 Chrysler New Yorker convertible as the tow car.

Felly Magic Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I advertised the remains of that donor Fiesta Vanguards on facebook, and it sold within seconds! It has made the donor parts free.

59Impala Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I am now going to discombobulate JM with not one but two Norev 1958 Chrysler New Yorker convertibles, each with their own boat. Forgot that I had two in different colours as you do. Other Norevs lurking in the cabinet. Anglias on the window sill. More Norevs elsewhere in house somewhere.

mercrocker Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Ah, those would be from the limited edition "BLARG Quality in Action" range, each box featured a miniature Warranty Defect sheet and a screwed-up facsimile PDI docket. eddyramrod, Datsuncog and Junkman 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it is a Jetcar de Norev and thus made of metal unlike a real Simca 1500. It is parked with its plastic estate version complete with wonky opening tailgate. I also found a metal Norev Chrysler 180 the other day, remember buying that back in the 70's. RayMK, mercrocker, Datsuncog and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
59Impala Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I shall now pose a 'what is the make and model' of the real car question. And where was it sold? No doubt there will be some who will get it straight off but there is no prize as I'm a tightwad. 64A60, Junkman, Conrad D.

eddyramrod Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 It looks like a Farina Wolseley,, but by the phrasing of the question I'm going to suggest it's one of the wide-bodied Australian models? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conrad D. Conelrad Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Would you sell the ZT separately? I could, yes. But the postage is going to be the same for one as for all, so it'll be like, seven quid. Split_Pin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarvinsMom Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 mercrocker will have got it right, it is a BMC farina, and that grill is definatelya Riley one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
