Got myself a mk2 Escort, but decided to go for the cheaper Maxichamps version instead of the usual Vanguard’s.



Looks good to my eye. If I was to be critical I’d say the grill and headlights are slightly too far forward giving the the front a flush appearance but overall a good effort I think. 
It’s nice to find one that’s not an RS or Mexico or yet another rally car.

By the way, it looks like Oxford just lopped the back of a van off to make these.

Hard to find white metal jobbies



BMC have the correct vertical rear of a pick up that actual Mini based vans had

Prototype: Corgi Mini Hot Dog Van
Another of Marcel Van Cleemput's ideas, pictured in 'The Great Book of Corgi':

Despite having lost its hot dog roof feature over the years (might have been eaten), it still exists today:

The figure looks to be the standalone figure that came with the Ford Thames (Anglia) Ice Cream van

Speedy on a Mini Cooper S chassis!

Starting bid was £300 and it ran to £1700 plus commission
Sounds like a good idea for recreation...

That BMW is lovely!
Ive never seen the Corrado before though. I had no idea they made it!

Got home to a parcel from Ana's Hot Wheels site, who I use occasionally to get the stuff I can't find in the shit shops round here. 
First off, a couple of Matchbox mainlines,

I must be about the only person in the country who couldn't find this one in the shops when it came out, but now I've got one. Already got the yellow and metallic blue ones, but I'm still on the hunt for the Target-exclusive Onyx green version, after narrowly missing out on it a couple of times ...



The MR2 looks good in metallic blue,

A very sparkly metallic blue!

Bunglebus beat me to it with showing one of these, but I'm loving the Moving Parts Beemer CSL, like I did the original Superfast one I had as a kid.

I like the new Moving Parts packaging, but FFS Mattel, would it kill you to have tuck-in flaps on the ends of the boxes rather than gluing the bastards down? I wanted to have this one out but it was impossible to get the glued down flap open without damaging it,

Still, it's out now, and it's a lovely thing.

Nice detailing for the size,



Bonnet opens like on the real thing, lift the front first, and slide forward slightly, then open,

To reveal some lovely under bonnet detail.

In all, a little belter!
And a few HW Premiums which, again, I didn't stand a cat in hells chance of getting anywhere else,


Sierra Cossie looks great, apart from that bloody locating pillar,




Finally got the flat-front Escort MK2, again, a nice wee thing.

Very close to the livery of Björn Waldegård's 1977 British Airways-liveried car, one of my fave liveries.



But getting this one was the highlight though, I really wanted it at the time, then kind of forgotten about it until it came up on the sales site,

Yep, it's a bit '90s Max Power with the body mods, etc, but it's a bloody Purple Corrado, so that's good enough for me.



Another little stunner!

A box arrived yesterday containing some bargainous Lone Star Flyers
Corsair & Jag are complete,just have some chips
Alfa Spider just missing the steering wheel
Lotus Europa had a wheel issue
I had this though,so easily fixed

Lastly,the Ford Taunus which is really nice,but it does have a slight issue

I have a plan for that though........

Went for my first spin in it. Wouldnt idle- noticed a split vacuum hose to the dizzy, which once sorted helped a lot; it seemed to also need a fair bit of choke. Its got an MOT currently so wonder if they leaned it off for a pass? So i ticked it a bit richer. After i got to a petrol station and added some fresh pez it ran better still. 
I think it probably still need needs a proper service and tune up but its running really nicely now…..

I genuinely prefer the Nissan.

Oh how about that...

Mine 11 years ago.

The camera on my iPhone is shite, apologies... the irony how the stickers said Flash! 😆

That looks great.
I've got one of those, a Dinky, but I didn't do the conversion myself, mainly because I wouldn't be able to drink enough booze first before starting, like this modeller did

Chevy from the Cogbox dismantled awaiting inspiration.
