Dukestar25 Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 luvvly... I had (possibly still do) some of those cars. I have a metro like that one but in red, a Sierra 2.3 Ghia of the same scale, a Match box Mk1 Capri and a 'Bauer Miller' convertible BMW 325i among others...

MrRegieRitmo Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I've got or had all of the models you've shown in the photos apart from the Metro but had that in a larger scale also by Corgi, till I painted it all over in Humbrol bright yellow & eventually broke it up as a 'scrap car'!

Richard Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Toy cars are another indicator of how things changed in the 1980s. Up till then toy cars were mostly everyday cars but since then they have been mostly supercars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
