Here's the 1971 Mebetoys I aquired this week.

Translation

Mebetoys are the most perfect and exciting models in the rich world of cars. Enchanting for their beautiful lines, variety of colors, multiplicity of use, they are made with unprecedented technical precision! All adventures become possible with Mebetoys: the great prototype races, the crazy races with ambulances, the extraordinary adventures in taxis or around the world!

Translation

Did you like these models? Get the most beautiful ones right away, and run to have fun in the craziest and wildest adventures! And think that soon other sensational models will arrive, with which to build the most exciting games that the world of cars knows!

This reminded me I have this stashed away, got it in a trade years ago needing wheels and never got around to doing it.

For sale by any chance?

I have the standard Lotus but only in 1/43 Vanguard scale.

I absolutely adore Mebetoys, alas I only have 10 of them. I sold a green 500 many years ago and regret it still.

I'm certain these are Corvettes, I've been eyeing up similar ones at the toy fair for months

They are C3 Corvettes that came with a transporter.

I wasn't planning too but if that changes I'll let you know.

I need to have a look and see what other Ottos I have still boxed, used to buy a lot of 1/18 before the prices went mental.

Went to a car show at Harrogate Rugby Club today.

Got these from the same chap that I got the opening boot Beetle Majorette a few pages back.

Then I went back and got this for £5 because I couldn't resist.

No ladders, aerial or TVs but roller door and good transfer decals.

I went to a toy fair in Bognor this morning, shame I didn't know @flat4alfa was in Arundel as I went through it on the way home.

@bunglebus I had to look and two blue door caravans are part of the current collection

Mrs Concern has been quite strict lately and not let me buy any more Matchbox caravans or any she already has

I think a few more would fit in fine...

I was very pleased to see a load of Norevs at the toy fair, these old plastic ones are really lovely and none of them are distorted at all as far as I can see

I'll dig out my Dinky Ami to compare them at some point, I don't think I had a Dauphine and the Florides I have are Corgi and Spot On.

Not sure which I like best, they're all nice despite no opening parts

Also some newer Norev Jet Cars

Not taken them out of the boxes yet

@Split_Pin I don't think you are keen on sports cars, but this 1/24 Bburago 911 was £4 if you want it

It is a nice toy nice and I'm happy if you have it or not

The same seller had this XJ12C

Even though I don't collect 1/36, I've been wanting one for some while so snapped it up

Opening bits always interests me

Some cheap ones from my fave seller

Not seen a Solido SM before

More cheap ones, Jensen for Eddy

Corgi 2CV was £1 if anyone wants it

The Spot On Seller had a yellow Zodiac last week, but was too dear for me, but I wanted it

This week he sold it to me for less than half last week's price and also cheaper than one I saw sell on ebay in not such good condition

This everything

Fantastic find on the HW 1/25 Kadett!! I think that was a Mebetoys before they were bought over and rebranded as Hot Wheels.

Great haul Peter! I actually have that 911 in silver although the blue does look much nicer. I shall need to refrain at the moment but thank you for tagging me!

That Norev Alfa 6 is superb.

I'll see if I can get the Norevs out of the boxes without too much damage tomorrow. Not going to try now as I've had a few beers!

The seller also had a couple of 2CVs and a BX (Jet Cars) I kind of wish I'd bought them as well now, I do have his number so could message him to save them for me. Maybe decide that tomorrow as well!

They're like twins! In fact I think you should send it to me, so they can be reunited...

As much as anything, I was pleased the glazing wasn't cracked as so many are

A pink ALFA Sei ! Well I never

Tiny Tom has one of those Norev Mini-Jets in the more common blue. Not that the model or the real thing are common

Tiny Tom likes the opening things

And is pleased the Dashboard and centre console are modelled too

Twin headlamps make it a first series, whereas the 1:1 he owned was a second. But no matter, there is very little in the way of alternatives. The real car now lives with a collector in Yorkshire
