Felly Magic Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 The only variant they didn't make was the 3 door, right hand drive versions were available too, that estate is rare to find mint, I got all these unboxed, sadly all now sold. Would love to get that estate back, the hatchback, estate and Orions have the 1.8D engine, and the cabriolet has the CVH. Schabak also did a lot of other 1/43, and a few 1/24 & 1/25, including the Sierra Sapphire in both UK and euro specs, and Cosworth, the Granada/Scorpio, and Granada saloon, I also used to have a BMW 750iL by them. Split Pin of this parish has my old 1/24 Escort which I supplied full of spare parts from a dead 1/24 Orion RayMK, Datsuncog, Junkman and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felly Magic Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Shortly I shall be commissioning a charity model of a fallen shiter's car. John MacGregor, aka 'oldford' had a mint condition Ford Cortina Crusader and I am getting a replica made of this car, and will be auctioning it in aid of the hospice who cared for him when his health was failing. I have mentioned this on East Coast Retros of which he was a big supporter. If anyone has a Whitebox TC3 Taunus in red, please PM me. Thank you. I shall post a link to the auction when it is all sorted. I want to help the hospice, as John was a mate, and helped me out more than once.

sierraman Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 No idea if it will be of any interest to anyone but what about this Bburago Peugeot 205 a mere £5 delivered to your door? No box and a few slight marks. Burnside 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Split_Pin Posted August 10, 2018 Author Share Posted August 10, 2018 I love Schabaks, I have a fair few 1/24 examples. Escort hatch (ex F.Magic), Orion, 2 Sapphires, Granada, Xr2i, BMW 750, 850, E36 cab, Z1, Mercedes W140 And Audi 80 cabriolet. I also have a 1/24 Gama E36 and what I believe to be a rare Schuco 1/24 E36 M3. They are crude by todays standards but when I was a kid, at £25 a pop, they were impossibly out of reach.

Amishtat Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 This topic has made me go rummaging in the cabinet and actually looking at them properly for the first time in a few years.I got these in about 1987 and even then they seemed a cut above but you're right, they seem a bit crude now. The Sierra was my favourite then but I definitely prefer the Granada now egg, stuboy, Skizzer and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsuncog Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Those Fords are seriously lush... the model shop I worked in as a Saturday job, twenty-odd years back now, sold some Schabak and Gama - we had a fair few Escorts and the like, as shown above. But yeah, they were pricey - much more than the Corgi Classics and Vitesse that formed the bulk of my collection at the time - despite the detailing and shut lines on those opening doors and bonnets being more comparable to Corgi and Matchbox toys. To put the final nail in the coffin, they were 'moderns' - and my teenage self was interested in classics, not Mk3 Granadas. Course, I'm now looking at the Schabak stuff pictured and idly wondering how much a kidney might fetch on the black market... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amishtat Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I recall having a 1:43 Audi 100 estate in a pale metallic blue, would that have been Schabak? Must have a look around for that. Moving the Cosworth earlier revealed this forgotten at the back of the cabinet.Which makes me wonder where the rest of my Buragos will be,there was a pale green BMW 6 series, a white and blue Rancho and a blue Land Rover. There was a Citroën Traction as well but that was expertly* repainted when I was about thirteen and nobody wants to see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amishtat Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 This was right at the back in the shadows.

egg Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 This arrived from France today.

Every day's a school day, etc. For a car that was never a particularly common sight on the roads, it's incredible how many contemporary manufacturers decided to model a Rancho.

Siku were real rarities round my neck of the woods; usually I could only pick them up on holiday in England. I had a few secondhand ones from a swapmeet and they were some of my favourites (VW Passat B Kombi; VW T2 Bay Crew Cab; Audi 80). I must peruse my 1980s Siku catalogues more closely.

Yeah, I'd my fingers burned with Facebook groups a few years back. My own fault, just being far too trusting! Seems that Ebay remains the default choice, pretty much.
