I think I'll be on the look out for the new ECV Taxi (which looks like a great big matchbox car anyway) the Mr Bean Mini and Jeep Renegade as I drove many of those during my trade-plate career, mostly from Long Bennington.

Sudsprint Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Back to the 1960s and my unending quest to replace all the toy cars I wrote off. A pale blue Landcrab. This came as part of a gift set with a maroon Victor 101, gold 'Chinese eye' RR Cloud and a gold and white Mk1 Tincorner. Just need the Cortina now.

sierraman Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I have one of those Mira Fiestas albeit a much later one with a plastic base. I think mine had adverts for fags on like loads of 80’s Spanish tat like Guisval and Mira had. andrew e 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flat4alfa Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Have nothing to bring to the Mk1 Fiesta, FIESTA So will have to make do with a Messerschmitt Tg-500 made by GAMA Scale is nearer 1/36 than 1/43 Exhaust and steering wheel have escaped The spare wheel and carrier fell off shortly after the photo session Don’t know much about GAMA, apart from they appear to have expected owners to bring their own glue to the party Remspoor, Sudsprint, RoadworkUK and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split_Pin Posted October 27, 2020 Author Share Posted October 27, 2020 I had a Guiloy Fiesta in blue with stickers on it. I was given it by a Swapmeet stallholder that I always used to buy from as a kid. My dad and I always used to chat to him every month, he was a lovely older gent with his spectacles on a chain and his wife for company. I let it go in the big purge of 2013-15. I also had a Goal one that I swapped with a friend, I forget what happened to that. I did try and sell my 1/24 Polistil Fiesta in the Purge (R) and almost succeeded, but I'm glad I still have it now!

Burnside Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Like @Lord Sterling I have a Norev 1:24 Fiat Doblo which my Brother kindly brought me a few years ago for Xmas. So when I saw a Norev Fiat Ducato Van for £20 at a car show last year, I had to have it. [ Sorry btw for the pic quality! ] Opening door's on both aren't the best fit, but never the less I'm pleased with them. An to keep them company, my Brother also got me a Bburago Kit 1:24 Fiat 500 Abarth. Admittedly I haven't applied all the decals yet, but there alot easier to apply than the pair of 80's Bburago Kits I had as a kid.

Lord Sterling Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I also have the Ducato but its the same colour as the Doblo. Fiat 500/Abarth 595 yet to be added to my collection. Sudsprint and Burnside 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyW201 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Still no MB as yet in Tesco. Went to the B&M next door for a couple of bits, looks like they've recently re stocked on Hot Wheels, albeit older stock. Still, I found a few of the ones I missed out on when they were released, so not a dead loss! Was especially happy to get the Silvia, don't think I've had any of that casting before.

Split_Pin Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 Home Bargains were selling those 1/24 Doblos for about £3.99 a year or two ago. There weren't any in my local branch however I did get a 1/43 Lancia Lybra, whatever that is. Burnside 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
