flat4alfa Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Boxes, yes, but otherwise I'm not that sure - but there are definite BP 'liveries' on the Renault 5, Vauxhall Nova and Ford Transit recoveries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flat4alfa Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Some recent acquistions. Sources were a mix of AS touting, eBay bid waring, charitable shopping and in the case of the Rolamatic Capri, pulled out of the stock cupboard to console myself over the crushing Maxi Taxi loss from a few pages back bunglebus, vulgalour, Sudsprint and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flat4alfa Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Right. Ok, The AS Corgi BP Library Lifetime Achievement Tally is as follows: (Spot the box-end labelling mistake) So the outstanding BP Corgi cars to collect are: Transit Wrecker - yellow BP livery Zakspeed Capri - 'Homefire' Ferrari 308 GTS BMW M3 - yellow 'Silverstone' Porsche 935 - 'Polo' mints Jaguar XJS - 'Track Car' Vauxhall Nova - BP 'Visco Nova' livery Land Rover - Duckhams 'Race Support' This is a catalogue release, so is unfortunately banned from the proceedings, ? sorry: bunglebus and warch 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sierraman Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 When I was a kid I had most of those as our local service station was BP, so presumably my dad would have picked them up.

Split_Pin Posted March 28, 2020 Author Share Posted March 28, 2020 Why are some in a red box? I think I've owned all of them at some point, those that I now have are as follows: Visco Nova (original survivor) Duckhams Escort Orange Jeep Transit Wrecker Pointers Transit (the other original survivor, all others have been bought recently) Volvo 760 Weetabix Volvo F12 (came in the same style of box, presume it was part of this promotion) Renault Trafic Schweppes Pontiac BMW M3 race car Jaguar track car Half a Homefire Sierra (cut and shutb original but not really a survivor!) I also have examples of the others but they are colour variations not in the promotion.

quicksilver Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I had a few of those BP Corgis too, all unboxed and played with, but they went to new homes at Shitefest '16. I definitely remember the Polo Porsche, Visco Nova, Duckhams Escort, Pointers Transit and Homefire Sierra. The latter I know was acquired by Angrydicky to make a replica of the bASe.

andy18s Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 16 hours ago, eddyramrod said: "Racing" would be correct on those Opels, just as the multiple crescents would on the Subaru. Rally cars would often appear in the 80s and 90s with a market-specific livery if the local laws didn't allow tobacco advertising. You would just get the colours you knew, with the sponsor's name deleted: Rothman's and 555 in these two cases. The racing decals are incorrect for the Opels,both ran in full Rothmans liveries.The Audi is missing the HB branding but the Subaru is correct I guess the change is to allow the diecast manufacturers to be able to sell the models in the current climate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
