darkfour Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 My parents are having a clear out of their attic and found several model cars that I no longer want. I'm in the USA and the models are all in Sussex and shipping them here isn't financially viable. Rather than toss them out I thought I'd offer them up here. I'm not looking for any cash for them except to cover the postage which I'm guessing is around £6-8 for each larger model. Not totally worked out how to take payment but maybe cheques sent to my parents would work. Collection could also be arranged. Oh and I used to be a Beetle fanatic so please forgive me. Anyway first come first served. First up 3 unmade model kits. Box of assorted cars I'd rather not send this entire lot in one as I guess it's heavy. If there's anything you spot then let me know and I'll see if I can it pulled out the box and shipped. eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulgalour Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 That car tin in the box of cars brought back forgotten memories of my brother and I having one each, in different designs. I think they originally had boiled sweets in them. I've also not seen one of those Beetle pencil holders (the pink thing) since about the same time. sutty2006 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkfour Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 Yep and the white car with the red stripe all around is Face's Corvette from the A Team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Split_Pin Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Mate you would get good coin for the Polistil Fiat 128, someone on here snap it up! I have it and it's great. You would get 15 for the beetle and a fair bit for the red Porsche as it's an HW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaseracer Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Ooooh! Ooooh! 1303S kit for me please! My first ever car, been looking for a model for ages My first car (bought, rather than borrowed from the parentals) was nearly a 1302S, but I went for my French teacher's old Dyane 6. The rest, as they say, is history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one brought back some memories as I have one of them in the loft at my Mums house. Was one of my favourite cars as a kid along with the brown TR7 to keep up my Autoshite credentials.

darkfour Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 Update time, so far Pillock 1303S kit. My parents just sent me this. The 1303s has a slight crack on roof about 1 cm from middle to door post. All bits are still in original bags unopened. IainL Driving School Beetle 155V6 Driving School Beetle + 2 SIKU beetles SRAD34 Porsche GT3, Renault Alpine, Fiat 128 If you can PM me your addresses I'll get my parents to ship them out. Once I know the cost of postage I'll PM you and then you can send the cash/PO/cheque to my parents. That way you won't pay over the odds and I trust you all to pay up too. As requested more pics from the box of assorted Corgi Hotwheels Matchbox Random unknowns Also the beetle rally car kit is OK but the body is completely cracked across the roof.
