One is the Century of Cars issue which has joined my "car show." 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.

bunglebus Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I'd be interested in the blue Matchbox Pi-Eyed Piper and the Mod Rod - what make is this one? Is that a Corgi Rockets Jag hiding at the back? The Matchbox RS200 will sell on eBay in almost any condition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunglebus Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a cereal box toy apparently 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. Even the exterior handle is different to my sliding door van. This is it with the broken one off my MK2 Sliding door MK1 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. Datsuncog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flat4alfa Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flat4alfa Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Looked at my Transit MKII Confirmed the door you do need isn't marked A or B. My MKII wears same door as your broken one. bunglebus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
