Felly Magic Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I loved Majorette as a kid, had loads as the local sweet shop sold em, I had the mk2 Capri in blue with white roof, towing a trailer with a single canoe clipped to the top of the trailer lid. A real fave of mine was the ice cream van which clearly by the looks was based on a Bedford CF2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pillock Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I'm a model car snob. I could never get on with Majorette. The wheels man, the wheels are awful! Blingy chrome threespokes on a Bedford van or whatever, totally wrong. Much preferred the softer silver paint on Matchbox and just a generic holed design. madrat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyW201 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I had a load of majorettes as a kid too. I loved the mk2 Capri, in orange with black roof and S stripes. Other favourites were the e23 7 series, Peugeot 604, Fiat 127 with the dog in the back window, Saab 900 turbo, Renault 5 GTT, Pug 205 GTi (although my Guisval 5 door GR was my fave Pug 205 in that scale.) and a brill rendering of the Alfa Giulietta. I also had that ice cream van, thinking it was based on a Bedford CF or Iveco daily. Was disappointed to find it was based on a Citroen that wasnt sold over here...

sierraman Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 My favourite was the Alfa 75. Always used to get them when we drove to France, they were cheap there, a few francs or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayMK Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I like the Jag, also your Landy complete with driver and the Vauxhall. Considering the small scale and the age of these, the likeness to the real vehicles is remarkable. eddyramrod and egg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkman Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 A little tidbit about the man who founded Norev and Majorette. As far as I understand Froglish, someone is restoring Mr Veron's '58 New Yorker.So now we know why Norev made a model of it and it even had the number plate of the real thing! mercrocker, Datsuncog, 59Impala and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercrocker Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 My only Majorette has a trailer of sorts...... Bought on Ebay recently after admiring somebody else's Bernard tracteur on here. Rest of the stuff is mainly Norev, Wiking and Minix. I remember buying a pink Majorette Pug 204 cabrio in France on a school trip but it imploded shortly afterwards.... eddyramrod, Datsuncog, 59Impala and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split_Pin Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 I recently got the Bernard truck, a really handsome vehicle. The 1/1 examples had Mack engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felly Magic Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 That white trailer with the canoe on the top is one I had with a blue & white Capri. Somewhere I have a metallic blue Sierra, and if I find it may be available for free on the proviso it is repainted to look like the Ace of bASe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
