And the beige Eldorado is dibbed already.  Nice!

[eddyramrod]

I've emptied two boxes of small-scale cars and I'm making progress with some of the requests.  Within the week some of you will be getting PMs containing photos.  I've uncovered Matchbox, Husky, Corgi Juniors, Majorette, Hot Wheels, Dublo Dinky and some obscure makes.  Mostly these are American cars, as you might expect from me, but there are others.

More pics for Chrysler ta

Mmm 50s

Does all shizz open is it a conv? (Not nerd)

[eddyramrod]

Everything opens: hood, trunk, both doors.  It's not a convertible, more a coupe.  Pics will follow.

You've got my interest with that mention of Dublo Dinky. Waiting with baited breath to see what gems you unearth.

Beige Eldorado and white Chrysler now both sold   Thank you gents!

[eddyramrod]

I've just realised that the 1/18 Mercedes (500K, not 540 as I previously thought) is missing a sidelamp off one front wing.  I'll offer it post-free to adjust for that.

 

Also: those of you who have asked for "Fords:" so far I've unpacked a selection of American Fords, but not much English stock.  Are you interested in pickups and Torinos?  Would you be interested in Lincolns and Mercurys too?  Given that they were US Ford's luxury lines...

[eddyramrod]

Here's a thought: I could be interested in swapz if you have any American autos in 1/43 or even 1/18 to get rid of.  They don't have to be immaculate...

[puddlethumper]

Where do you live Eddy ? The Alfa and Merc are interesting.

[eddyramrod]

Barrow-in-Furness, AKA the bottom-left corner of the Lake District.

[eddyramrod]

This should give you an idea of the scale of this exercise; there are still boxes to unpack but some of them may need a bit of concentrated searching.

So you can see what I'm up against!  Not only is this the bulk of a lifetime of collecting, but as adulthood loomed in the 70s and 80s I didn't stop buying.  There are now too many to give me pleasure, so at least 90% of the collection is available.

[Lord Sterling]

Wow Eddy, thats some collection! What has already caught my eye is the Black 90s Ford Explorer (?) towards the back on first few pics and the Yellow Ford Transit. The White (and also Black) stretch Lincoln Town car next to the Yellow Mustang is another that interests me. White Black and Gold Mercury Sable wagons and the Black Merc ML are also interesting....

[eddyramrod]

They're yours Mo, I'll put them aside for you.  There are two black SUVs though and neither is a Merc ML: one's an Escalade and the other's an Explorer.  Still want one?

[vulgalour]

Impressive stuff, Mr Ramrod!  Is that white Cadillac on whitewalls claimed?  If not, may I?

[Lord Sterling]

Yep, both will do nicely. Thanks!

It is now!   I'll be packing some tomorrow, I hope.

[bramz7]

Any HW redlines at all Eddy? Appreciate if you fancy a touch more for them of course.....

[eddyramrod]

Redlines are no problem, I have a few.  We'll worry about price later.  Meanwhile, your Eldorado should be on the way tomorrow.

[bramz7]

Thank you.

[junkyarddog]

There is a VW pickup in the last pic Eddy that I quite like,

plus there are two trailers with with a boat and canoe.

 

Hot Wheels redline Barracuda and corvette too,if they are not already spoken for.

 

Thank you.

[eddyramrod]

Yours.  I'd better get packing a box!

[andy18s]

Any 70's Mercury Cougars or Comets?
I'm only on my phone so the pics are a bit small.....

[eddyramrod]

Sadly not, Andy; only the Matchbox Cougar Villager estate.  Or the first-gen Cougar.

[junkyarddog]

In pic 3 just in front of those trailers I asked about is a blue car facing away,what is it?
Looks kinda interesting.

[cms206]

Sign me up for any spare Majorettes Eddie!

80s/90s Matchbox and Corgi stuff would be nice to see a list of too, or pics... starting to build Junior's collection.

Thats what I'm telling myself anyway...

HW AMC Javelin, about a 1969 model.  Shall I add it?

[alf892]

Have you got a 41 to 46 Chevy pick up? Any condition would do

[eddyramrod]

Sorry Alf, no.

I think you're a bit late to the party with the Majorettes, Andy (there's a sentence the wife had better not read!) but I'm absolutely certain I can help you out with Junior's collection.
