This BMW 3 series coupe was an impulse buy the other weekend (with the M3 coupe) and cost a rather reasonable £20 too. Its a 1/18th BMW dealer model made by Kyosho and is just delightful! The more you look the more you spot, like electric seat switches for instance, or the glazed frameless doors. I think it’s a pukka BMW colour too, paint finish is excellent. As you’d expect in a toy car it has carpet, and even better boot carpet 😳 Note the warning triangle too! Under the bonnet is just as fine, down to the tool kit, I’m kinda regretting not buying the other one he had now which was a Z8, but the paint had blistered oddly. So in conclusion if you spot one cheaply jump in it, even if you don’t like BMW’s 👍

Don’t forget @Jon has loads of Hotwheels up for grabs!

Accidentally stumbled on a model shop earlier, and resolutely wasn’t buying anything I didn’t need, despite there being lots I’d happily take home! However I told myself this 1/43 (Corgi?) Brava AA van wouldn’t break the bank at £3.99 and I felt I hoped I help pay for the lights to be on in the shop today 😉 Anyone got any info on it? It’s rather nicely cast, needs a few details picking out with black and it will be perfect.

@Jon there is a absolute cavalcade of mini shite there! Will have a rummage in the swaps box 👍

No - from the purveyor of Hitlers gate.

Visited an Antiques fair for the first time in ages, and while she examined the vintage jewellery I wandered off totally unattended….. of course as we all know the lure of loose cash in ones pockets always brings temptation, however this time I could hear the ghostly chants of @RoadworkUK & @eddyramrod egging me on whistling in my ears…. BUY IT BUY IT….. they chanted - and I buckled! Well that’s my story and I’m sticking to it 😉 So the crisp £20 note in my pocket begged to have a new owner, and off it vanished in exchange for this Z3 Coupe, lightly crumpled box and all. It’s a UT models 1/18th diecast and it really is lovely. Doors and bonnet open, the interior has the blue seats just like the real thing. Under bonnet is nicely done though the chassis is a little bare. Still I think it’s delightful.

So that explains the dearth of Tat finds in Dunton @bunglebus 😉 You missed this terrible Fiero though! I then went on to an antique fair where I scored well….

Its intriguing for sure! I liked my car being a Countach but I never really liked the red colour, it’s look great in silver, just as my favourite combo - the Lazer one.

ALL HAIL TAT FRIDAY! Just take pictures this time, don’t take orders!!!!

Got it on one! I think the Wednesday one is better, more Tat less market.

Some cracking finds there gents - both those Siku’s were excellent scores! Went hunting toys and headed home with a £5’s worth of ex-electricity board spanner instead 😂

Supra! @RichardK you need one of these - they take a bit of varnish (well mine did) but they do the job amicably. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274061967206?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338365712&toolid=20006&customid=EB58869686&

Lastly from the pound and 50p bins these 4 - of course the chassis off the green Carabo is too short for the C11! Front arches and tailgate bottom are like new on the Transit though 😁

I have always wanted an early small door one of these - for a £10 it didn’t really Hertz much. It’s in lovely cared for condition though it does seem to have carried plenty of plasticine inside on its last hire!

I’d like to say I had more resolve…. but hey-ho! These 3 beauties cost £17 which is not outrageous for the glamorous looks! Corgi Berliet wrecker dragging a Solido 504: The wrecker is the old Holmes crane and works wonderfully!

I may of have bullied @bunglebus at the toy fair 😉 To be fair he didn’t need much help 🤣

@RichardK They need to be released from the packets - it’s diecast cruelty 😂

That’s just fantastic 👍

That looks fabulous @bunglebus 😎

Dick Turpin of Autoshite there 🤣

Do those ‘111’ all have the same baseplate?

WINNA!!!

If you want to further ruin your evening Google how model T pedals and controls work. Your heads bound to explode. One day I will give Neil Tuckett a bag of cash for a huge big meccanno set with blue oval stamped all over it.

Was that a Hotwheels Jack up Corvette in the pile too? Those Fiesta’s are lovely aswell.

Some great finds there @bunglebus
