  1. Not here sorry. You'll need to search for DAF 3300 Space Cab as it would say underneath, but they produced it in so many colours, it might be easier to search on Kelloggs and remove the decal Base states 1987 but Team Pepsi Suzuki variation only produced 1989
  2. You might find it more collectible* than you think The ATCO Bricks series was new for 1988 but was shut down by 1992 due to a lawsuit from Lego. You may see them as rebranded to Medquip Interlocking Bricks, perhaps in some territories where the lawsuit didn't apply
  3. The bulkhead had those raised wiper arm spline attachment ends throughout The purple and red metallics are the least common, Purple produced for a matter of months 1975-76 before Speedwheels were fitted Dinky 131, produced 1968-77 1968-70 White 1970-75 Copper metallic 1975-76 Purple metallic 1976-77 Copper metallic or Red metallic, fitted with Speedwheels
  4. My first 1:1 car was a ‘76/R Fiat Mirafiori It was a 1300 L and went very well - it used to annoy the Escort crowd, due mainly to its gearing rather than my driving ability I should have kept that 2-door shell, put it into storage, as it still had (most of) its factory sills. But when you are 19 you don’t think about funding retirement… Got a Polistil 1:43 in the same colour to remind myself of the thing. Here it is out to play with a Panorama
  5. 1999 Hyundai Grandeur Geulaendeu Tueoleo 그랜드 투어러 (Gran Turismo, GT), seen at Skegness These weren't given the Grandeur Sedan's 3.5 L Sigma V6, oh no. Using a convoluted route through Kia, they were supplied the 3.0 L 6G72 24v twin-turbo V6 from Mitsubishi. But didn't tell anybody. Which meant that for some time, Motor Factors in Lincolnshire scratched their heads and lost a large amount of sleep getting parts for these. That was until Barry from Mablethorpe sussed-out the hidden connection with the 3000 GT. For the next six months, Barry was rushed off his feet, and wished he hadn't.
  6. 1951 Alfa Romeo 2300 Limousine Impiallacciaturas (Veneers) When the press came to see this, they wood not be allowed to touch it, only admire from a distance.
  7. Interestingly, this was the Ferrari conversion that became known as the 'Toastarossa', for the same reason. If they weren't rivals, they could have worked together to resolve the issue.
  8. The 1972 Triumph Stag, by Bertone, who mistakenly fitted Fiat Badges to it, due to some confusion as they were overwhelmed with work at the time. Dubbed the 'Stagioni', this was another one-off, which was apparently 'accidentally' commissioned by Solihull on Cowley's behalf, without Cowley having any knowledge until payment was demanded on delivery. Owned, at one time, by a Martin 'Giant Haystacks' Ruane from Salford.
  9. The 1985 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Avant, at Rome's Trevi fountain. The Carrozzeria on this one remains unknown, as no-one seemed to want to admit to it. Its versatility was appreciated though, as at one time, it was owned by an Alex Higgins from Belfast
