When you say "not the old Corgi casting", do you mean the 70's one that was green with a white base, before being re-done in red? There's a later Corgi which is a different casting, and I think several variations with spoilers and bonnet etc, was discussed a while ago on here.

The only one with a fair bit of Value is the red white blue mixer..worse condition on Ebay have sold for £25 and upwards...

The lone trailer at the end, I'll either sell, or I'll buy the truck that goes to it!!

added some pics of "Days gone by" as I love the Shell Tanker

Is that a Corgi Rockets Jag hiding at the back?

Black Vauxhall Cresta is a Dinky, has been apart and repainted as it has allen bolts in there now..

RS200..really??? Jag..Yes..

Well I wouldn't mind the green Corgi Jag - I'd put the Dinky on separately and do little job lots of Matchbox/Hot Wheels/Chinese tat etc.

Good Luck with the Days Gone/Yesteryear type stuff, they're everywhere and not very sellable

Yh I'd noticed that about them...

as I said I had it for the Daf 6 wheeler, as its been painted in colours similar to my old truck...

I'd really like the unit to the trailer, and wouldn't mind taking the paint off the Green Lesney box truck with sliding doors, as its other wise in decent nik..also the 2cv, feels plastic but is almost 100%..

how much you feel like paying for those 3 then?? Combined post will be about £3.50 i think

Built this Tamiya CB750 up this afternoon.

Need to buy another Tamiya bike kit, as they are relatively straightforward and nicely detailed. Bought this off ebay a while back for less than a tenner.

Need to have a rummage and see if i have any aircraft kits that ive squirrel for a rainy day...

It's free to list weekend, this weekend of weekends....

Gah!  So I'd better be quick and stop being indecisive and say YAY to Team Honda and Golden Eagle this time make it final!

also spotted some of what I have on Ebay for some nice prices

Sure you know this, but look at sold values, not the speculators playing the relist after relist game, with stock that never sells

There is one fella on there that as far as I can tell has sold very little in the past 18 months.  It's got to the point where I have put in max price when searching - just to stop the groundhog

Sean Connery and Jill St John in Las Vegas.  It's not the old Corgi casting, which came as a bit of a surprise; I have a couple to compare.  One is the Century of Cars issue which has joined my "car show."

Complete different castings aren't they?  I think Corgi was smaller than 1:36, but the DeAgostini(etc) set are smaller still at 1:48? 

I would like to see a side-by-side photo shoot if possible?  No need for alley way stunts on two wheel though!  Or the different pair of wheels that it left the same alley with!  Even as a child I couldn't believe they expected to get away with it

I'll dig out all of them tomorrow and get a pic for comparison.  Don't know why I didn't think of it before!

Seems to be, although I found a pic of a box of them.

I have a small problem. The Dinky Transit door is wrong. Looks like this is for the sliding door version, which I think we worked out has at least three different side doors fitted for different specs. You can see inside isn't the same as my early MK1.

20210220_204316.thumb.jpg.3301548854626c92070d3937bff40d21.jpg

Even the exterior handle is different to my sliding door van. This is it with the broken one off my MK2

Late MK1

MK2

Pity, as the pic he showed was of a late MK1 with the right door. He's sending me another FOC which hopefully will be right.

My Mk1 Slider with spun wheels has a properly-fitting original door ...stamped TRANSIT B !

It is identical to the one you he sent you with same round recess...  except it does have the handle to the edge.  The handle missing its 'tip' and less proud overall, I think is a casting flaw from worn tooling, in your donor one
