Yeah and it's a lovely one too. In some ways I wish I'd seen the guy with the stand I pictured first, as he had some lovely stuff for well below eBay prices, but he was as the 2nd boot sale I attended and I had to borrow a few quid off SWMBO to pay for what I got! andrew e 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea was to repaint it black to match the car I had when I was 20. But it's nice enough to leave alone for now DoctorRetro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flat4alfa Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Also it was an omen to spot those wheels in the box first - after the Horizon discussion earlier - before I saw it was the Fuego I was after a while ago anyway, to do the 'cars I owned collection in 1:43'....

bunglebus Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Right, here are the highlights of this morning's expedition. I don't really buy to sell but there are a few that were either making up the "4 for £1" numbers or cos I thought one of you lot might like them. They're all presented in "as found" condition, quite a few have now had a trip around the sink since and look a lot better for it! This one I did buy to sell on, as it's a Lucky Toys, and I've seen what their stuff goes for. Quite a large scale this one 20200712_123011 by RS, on Flickr This one is available for the £2 I paid for it cos I knew someone would want a 1:24 Bburago Fiat Panda!

Amishtat Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Well, it's a sunny afternoon and of course there's things I should be getting on with. But fuck that, you've made me get my recent boot sale treasures out for a closer look in the garden. I didn't go on Wednesday because it rained so that and the antics of various members upthread have made me doubly keen for the next one.. Firstly some Huskies. I don't usually go for this scale but it was the first boot sale I'd been to in about a year, there was no way I was leaving empty handed. Of course, now is the first time I'd noticed trivia like the bust A-post on the Starfire or the distinct lack of bumper corners on the Jaguars. Why do the same thing in two different scales too, that seems a peculiar business model. Flaminia was irresistible in spite of a missing bonnet.

Amishtat Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 The Corgi Thunderbird also from the same trip out. I'd been planning to at least try and maintain some willpower but this was on a stall literally in the first twenty paces or so. Two quid changed hands and the addiction kicked into life for another year.. The Humbrol repaint just flakes off, I'm sitting here now picking at it with my thumbnail. There's a crack in the screen but it doesn't really matter, I'm wondering whether this might be repaintable without dismantling, some careful masking and it looks doable. Morris is finding all this riveting. Datsuncog, Sudsprint and eddyramrod 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junkyarddog Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Today's finds are..... Barry's van,from some programme about builders that I can't spell. "Who the fuck is Barry M8?" Next this Matchbox Maserati bora, oldest one I found today. Next this batch,like the yellow E type. "Thank fuck for that, a,fuel delivery at last M8" Brit speeder is the Hot wheels car on the end,never seen one before. Also found this Real rider Porsche 911. There were a few others but they went straight into the parts box. Other bits today included a 1966 car magazine. A momo steering wheel, Gelard cassette player, and two high level rear brake lights. Not a bad haul for today. Remspoor, Amishtat, Datsuncog and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
