Or Tonka... can't remember now, think the brand was moulded into the outside of the wheels, a bit like tyre lettering. Came as the load on an articulated transporter, if memory serves... Memory's not that stellar these days, to be fair. ? Pretty spot on memory recall there. what’s that hiding under the bed, BUDDY L it must of had a fairly long production run, box is dated 1989, cars 1981.

flat4alfa Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 WEDNESDAY EVENING HOT ROD MEET WITH KEN AND DOLLY WENT WELL Two 'Funny Car' Dragsters also showed up to too: Gus's Gulper and Milligan's Mill. All the owners dropped them off and then scarpered into self-isolation. Well ok, apart from the Fireman, who was comatose thoughout. Still, that meant Dolly & Ken could paw over the lot in peace.

Two of the cars are even driving about too, after a fashion ? The spare slot bodies (not from AS-sources) are a NSU TT (blue/silver stripe) and a chopped-about Airfix Rapier (red/black) Pleased to see the Scouse Hillman still has its tool box tools!
