sheffcortinacentre Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Can I take the blue MK3 zephyr Farnham ( think I've just the bronco 2 in the reserve parking at present). So if you can hold onto those. If anyone knows of a model of the 80's "square body" Chevy/ GMC suburban a mate would be glad to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know Suburbans very well - Hot Wheels any good? Don't think they do this casting currently This Matchbox is a recent one though Even Maisto get in on the act Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglebus Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Realising I only had one quite tatty Mercury sedan, I tracked down this police version complete with two cops Trip to Asda netted a brand new McLaren And I also grabbed this F+F F-Bomb, purely for the Roadkill link (built by David Frieburger who hosts the show). Don't normally go in for new stuff in this scale but this one is pretty cool AndyW201 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheffcortinacentre Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 The NASCAR one is newer model. My mate says unfortunately there are loads of the earlier & later versions made in various scales but the (late 70's early 80's) pickup & suburban are overlooked even though the real ones are very popular. The only version done seems to be the "fallguy" pickup (usually in the incorrect swb version). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyW201 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Quick trip to the local 'little' Asda paid dividends, for once. Seen this M3 on the HW groups for a while, nice to finally get one. Good to see the little MX5 in plain unadorned form. Who'd have thought a few years ago that Hot Wheels would be modelling a Kia? A great little rendering of a car I quite like the real version of. Nice Tampos on this one, front and rear. Saving the best till last, though Another nice standard casting. Hot Wheels are getting good at this lately with the rarely modelled Japanese sports cars. Still looking out for the recently released '96 Impala SS though, which looks fab. bunglebus, Sudsprint, Tenmil Socket and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like this? 1/43, by Road Champs. They do turn up on UK ebay, almost always in some kind of police livery, but if you really want one, try US ebay, there will be no shortage.

Sadly, you're unlikely to find any interested parties here, I reckon. The issue with these Days Gone models is that they're relatively new and were 'collectables' from the start, never toys, so there are thousands of similar examples in similar condition. As a result, values aren't high; maybe a pound a pop, at a car boot sale? The Minor may go for a wee bit more, as it's a more modern vehicle, so possibly of more interest. That's not to say that they aren't nicely made little things but the subjects chosen are just a little prosaic for modern tastes. Doesn't mean they might not brighten up a shelf in a kitchen or something though, if you wanted to keep them?

eddyramrod Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 A little showing off now, as I've been mounting cabinets and shelves on my walls, and slowly filling them up. We'll start with my fleet of ambulances... The blue Pontiac is missing the tailgate, so I guess I'd better order one sometime. I'm not sure I want to start opening it up though, it's in pretty good shape otherwise. This one is full of fire vehicles, arranged by nationality. It isn't entirely full, there's another shelf left at the top, but I don't yet know what I'm going to put on it. This one is full (ish) of Bond cars and UK police cars. Note the Hot Wheels and "others" hanging from nails simply knocked into the wall. To the right as you look at them, you can dimly see the "personal" fleet: cars I have owned or otherwise had something to do with. I must take some better pics of those. More showing off to follow when I feel like it, lol. Christine, bunglebus, Sudsprint and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheffcortinacentre Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Cheers eddy it's the model before that, has small rear lights ( reminds me of MK3 Cortina ones) & round headlights ( think facelift has stacked rectangular ones) , finnagens garage on YouTube has "square force one" crew cab ramp truck. eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
