sierraman Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Bought this for £2 (that’s more like it!). I’ve never seen one before but 5 minutes on fleabay shows they’re not scarce. Nice old thing with some patina. MarvinsMom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierraman Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 This was 20p, worth it I think for the doors and the glazing. I quite like the idea of it seeing the road again but I’m not sure how easy those pillars will be to replace? Could be a convertible conversion?

They aren’t aimed at toy market, they are collectibles. I only have a few and they are a cut above in quality and detail - perhaps equivalent to premium Matchbox / Hot Wheels releases Quote Demographically, more than 80 percent of buyers of Greenlight products are older than 18 years old and 88 percent are male [Wikipedia] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original paint stripped, later LT5 engine fitted to replace missing original, wheels from an Aoshima Nissan Cedric kit, seats from a Datsun 280Z. A fair bit of work getting the engine to fit and the standard bonnet still closing, but came together nicely. Now just Datsun 280Z, Ferrari 308 GTB and Toyota Ipsum/Picnic to complete......

Bren Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 I purchased some tat from Devon while on my jollies - Citroen CX Road dragster. End flap is missing from the box but for £5 I was not arsed. Mod rod Bomag Caravan Lotus Europa. Its a nicer model than the corgi whizzwheels example. Was up for £27 - got this and the CX for £36 which is'nt bad. The mod rod and bomag were £10 each, I gave a fiver for the caravan due to the half eaten box.

Bren Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 I also saw this- Its a corgitronics hcb angus firestreak - looks based on a cheverolet of some description. For £6.50 I was'nt bothered if it did'nt pump. A bit of research shows it is meant to have flashing lights and a siren - no mention of pumping. I will try a battery tomorrow. It even still has the ladder and battery cover as well as the sprues holding it to the card inner. I remember corgitronics been offered in my mother's John England catalogue circa 1980 - they just looked like tarted up old models ( which some of them were).
