Datsuncog Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Well, it wouldn't be Friday without some tat, now would it? With last week's missed opportunity of the Dinky Corsair still haunting me, I was sure to be up and out extra extra early today... So much so, that whenever I arrived Market Blokey still had everything in its crates. I skipped about for a bit, taking a few pics and generally making a nuisance of myself... Mostly stuff we've previously encountered in here... And likewise in here. 1/24 Panda's still here! Other stuff was just dumped on the table, waiting to be set out properly. So, I went for a wander round the rest of the market while he was getting himself sorted. Not much of note, this week - Charity Stall a bit meh, unless you like Days Gone... Jaguar XK140 and police MGB both missing bumpers and mirrors and stuff, though 1/24 Vauxhall (Opel?) VX220 was interesting. Then, after a swift belt of coffee, back into the fray...

Datsuncog Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 So, once the wares were properly out on display, what did this week have to offer? Old stuff up top was looking like this... All a bit bashed, sadly... Buicks and Superior Ambulance probably the best; all the others somewhat ratty. Corgi Classics Morse Daimler suffering mirror loss but otherwise not too bad. He was asking a tenner each last week, but hopefully less today as most of these are restoration grade at best. Further down the stall... Some tinplate, some boxed stuff, that triple pack of Super GT... And then on the lower deck: Some Atlas stuff, a boxed Siku skip truck and Britains tractor add-on. More stuff was still being added as I snapped, hence that Fiat Panda showing up, and also what I presume to be the glider trailer off the Corgi Prelude I picked up a month or so ago - but quite yellowed, and with the tow hitch snapped off. Nah. Panda is... not all that great for the £10 asking, to be honest. Steering wheel AWOL too. But if you really really like it, hit me up... To the extreme right of the stall, in danger of falling off... General Lesney, Corgi and a couple of Days Gone and MoYs... But stay! That Polistil Jaguar XJ12 is still here! Still no grille, and still no tail lights or rear number plate. Hmmmm.... £10 still on this. Salty, or no? I know there was some discussion on this the other day, but now I'm hesitant... if anyone's willing to take it on, I can see if it's still there... And then, heading round the back, there was more space to see what's in the other box... Let's go round in a clockwise fashion: Some ok Lesney (including another KW Dart tipper)... Farming stuff, and some fairly knackered Corgi Le Mans style racers. Corgi Inter City Commuter has busted glazing, sadly. Datsun 240Z Rallye missing its headlights; Superkings Nissan X270 concept car a bit worn; Dinky Land Rover fire appliance not bad but has those rubbishy late 70s nylon wheels. Sand Cat buggy not too bad; GMC cement trucks (three of the buggers) also ok, though some better than others. Corgi boat trailer looks like a repaint, seems to have been gold originally. Couple of Huskys are incomplete (MkX fire chief car missing bumper corners; Ford camper missing its camper bit). Which leaves only the 50p tat box to take a rake through... Customary recent Hot Wheels, mixed with some ok 90s Matchbox, plus a smattering of ropey Lesney and Corgi Juniors, and not forgetting a sprinkling of some random Majorettes and MC Toys stuff, and a dash of obligatory no-name rubbish... So there we have it! I may go and take another peep, just in case anyone's brought in any more French Dinky wonderousness while I've been frantically tapping away... more to come!

There's at least two 911s in the first pic; a bashed Lesney in black and a wide-wheel Majorette in dark metallic red... If it's the Majorette that's tickled you, then you may be in luck... 5 minutes ago, flat4alfa said: Are the chassis' on the Scalextric Metros intact? They are - though one's missing its motor.

Prices are prone to fluctuations, but seems to be based on what he's paid for them. If he's got them for cheaps, then they'll be bargainous... If he's overpaid, then ruinous.

eddyramrod Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Most likely civilian tbh. I've spent years hoovering up cheap Hunters where I find them, and managed to get 3 including my much-abused owned-from-new original. They've now all been repainted to match the 3 i and my parents had: two Minxes and a Sceptre. The one I had from new is the red one, appropriately as that was the first of the three we had! The Sceptre was the last, and had been used by Ginger McCain for training his racehorses on Southport beach. It's also (so far, touch wood, etc) the only car that's been stolen from me. I got it back but it was never the same and eventually I scrapped it. This was 1984. andrew e, flat4alfa and Datsuncog 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
