And the last couple for this grouping: some more 1/43 odds and sods.

Dodge Viper/ wheel donor; sealed, 50p.

Fiat 132, opened and missing a wiper - £2.

IMG_20220113_144700.thumb.jpg.c37d23aa4485f4623f4ccaf6379e1067.jpg

Oldsmobile Toronado in AS Racing Beige (comes in an opened blister, removed cos it was making the pic weird) - £4.

IMG_20220113_144607.thumb.jpg.87c84bfc54a6850846d83ede0fe576af.jpg

Cararama Ford Crown Vic CHiPS cruiser - also opened - £4.

**EDIT - VIPER, TORONADO AND CROWN VIC ALL SOLD!!**

Right! My finger's feeling oddly flat from poking at the screen and I'm sure some of you are wanting to get ready for bed, so - plenty more to come tomorrow in the listings, I can assure you!

I think we might all benefit from a bit of a rest, so I'll ring down the curtain for tonight, update my sales spreadsheet, and try not to dream of Corgis and Cararararama...

Cheers, kids!

Hi

Is that Fiat still available please??

Crumbs, that took me rather longer than anticipated to get the spreadsheet updated with everyone's preferred models... so I'd better get further updates sorted here, too.

If there's a 1:43 Eldorado (3rd Gen, 1979-85) along the same lines as the Toronado I will be making sure I check in tomorrow...

(Also Buick Regal 2-door)

Sadly that's pretty much all my septic stuff listed, I'm afraid!

I'll have the viper, toronado and the Crown Vic if they are all 1:43 please!

They are indeed all 1/43, and I'll set those aside for you - thanks!

I'd take the Yugo Sana if still available please

Daah, sorry - the Sana/Florida was already taken by the time you'd posted (requests were coming in via PM at the same time as I was posting, so I ended up behind with the updates... it all gets a bit involved at times...)

Some seem to be available on eBay, though not quite as cheaply, it has to be said!

@DatsuncogI can't remember to be honest but definitely will take that Y-Type too.

Not a bother - it was a loose £2 model from the market, I must have felt it wasn't worth the price of postage to send it on its own. But I'll pop it in with the others, no bother!

Has the yellow BMC  FG dropside lorry been claimed yet please?

Ah, it's taken, I'm afraid! 

Still available from various online sources, though:

bmc lorry - Shopadilly.co.uk

Bit dearer than they were last year, though...

Is there a playworn Matchbox SD1 in there?

Sorry, no SD1s in the next lot to be posted - but I'm keeping an eye out for you...

Hongwell Cararama 1/72 items, mint and boxed.

**VEHICLES IN PIC 1 NOW SOLD!!**

Ford Puma along with the Focus RS is quite sought-after, I believe - Pug 807 along with a 206 cabrio also an unusual choice.

£2 each on the double packs, £1 each on the Sprinter van and GMC pickup.

IMG_20220113_134744.thumb.jpg.d881c383b19db72538dfe2d1d7c24048.jpg

Assorted German vehicles, boxed - £1.50 each, or all seven for £8.

IMG_20220113_134630.thumb.jpg.9e0dba9f56d7325efb72cd5d4b18c8f7.jpg

Pack of six police vehicles - fiver.

Might be of some interest to  @diecastcollect?

I'll take all the stuff in the last pic if still available please.

I am glad I don't like in the UK all those goodies  that have been up for sale...I could have spent a fortune. Postage and import duties  have made them all impossible for me

Today's offering from me is a step back in time. Two front engined F1 cars. BRM is about to "Box Box Box" as it has a flat.

The Cooper Maserati is obviously from a later age

This is the Cooper's companion.

Rarely do I go to Dumfries, and the occasions I have cause to visit Tesco rarer still thankfully, but I genuinely was going right past it this afternoon and wondered whether it might be worth having a look. Compared to quite a few of you I'm not much of a chap for Matchbox, or new models in general, but when the opportunity comes up one might as well take it. Besides, I'd been intrigued how difficult this evidently is to find. Hardly anything on the pegs, I was just about to give it up as a bad lot and head home when something yellow right at the back caught my eye.. Before anyone asks, yes it was the only one.

I'd gathered they were a bit difficult to come by, Sierraman and bunglebus in particular being much more into this sort of thing than me and I'd read on here that neither had found one yet. If there had been more than one I'd have bought them to share out. Turns out there's another Tesco in Dumfries I didn't know about until earlier, I might well have to revisit the town later in the week and if so I'll check that out on the off chance. It's a nicely done little thing but would benefit from some tail-light detailing.

Well I'm also the wrong side of the border this week, so fingers crossed! Just been scoping out where I'll be working and seen a B&M, Home Bargains and Sainsbury's in close proximity, so hopefully there'll at least be some Hot Wheels to purchase

Large job lot has come up near-ish to me. Anyone see anything they can't live without?

Matchbox MK4 Cortina is saleable even in that condition, and so is the Turbo II Transit Supervan. How much is the lot? Definitely looks worth a rummage.

White car top right is a Matchbox MK2 Golf

*edit* ah not that one - mysterious. Keep thinking Escort RS2000 but it's not right...

£30 for that box which they reckon is 'more than 200 cars', plus a little bit of pez to fetch it. I'll go and get it but only if you lot buy buy some bits... I don't actually *want* any of it but if I can make my money back plus a bit on top it could be a fun virtual rummage. I had spotted the Silhouette but sadly that seems to be the most common/least valuable Red Line... I probably should though, right?

 

Edit - already sold!

I'm looking for a model of a Lotus XI to sit on my desk and ponder while I am supposed to be working. Who makes a decent one that doesn't cost a quintillion pounds. Bigger the better. 

NB. No build it yourself sort of things because I have precisely zero patience for that.

Got an appointment in Dumfries tomorrow morning, will have a look in the Tesco I didn't know was there afterwards. If they have any Capris I'll try and get a few to distribute on here. Fingers crossed!

Some weeks ago I stumbled across a chap on Facebook selling off his late uncle's Vanguards collection.  He offered them for open auction and while I did like several enough to bid, I didn't win any.  At least, I thought I didn't.  One bloke outbid everybody on a variety of lots; some singles, some joblots.  Then as soon as the seller tried to make contact, he disappeared.  So the seller posted that he would honour the last bid on each of these lots, and one of them was mine.  Today a little box arrived containing my purchases.

We all know how I like a PA Cresta, right?  I got this joblot of three for £12 plus postage.  And they're lovely.  Now... anyone got a good method of removing the transfers without damaging the paint?
