Datsuncog Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I had a Budgie Leyland Hippo coal lorry, using the same cab and chassis as the horse box - a nicely proportioned wee thing. It was a childhood jumble sale find, although I sold it on a few years ago. Never even knew about that Bedford TK (?) glass lorry before - very nice. Great to see there's still stuff to be discovered! Remspoor, bunglebus and eddyramrod 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiniMort Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Been meaning to post this little Corgi Mini Mayfair I got the other day for £1. Looking it up it seems to be from a series of Minis they made to celebrate it's 30th anniversary. Rather than restore it into the Mayfair it once was, I think I might turn it into a little version of a Mini my family had back in the 80s and 90s. 2cvspecial, Remspoor, bunglebus and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please let me know if you're still interested, I'd quite like the Quattro but Tenmil Socket was faster on the draw.

I tend not to throw much away, partly due to hoarding tenancies but mostly because I like to have spares for restos and customs. Mind you I have chucked some fairly complete stuff in the bin lately as I'll never use parts off them.

bunglebus Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Spotted this Dinky MK2 Transit fairly close by - as it turns out, just around the corner to mother bungle's house, so pics shot on her drive It's a little sun faded but lovely otherwise andrew e, Remspoor, RayMK and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsuncog Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Looks like a top buy, that Transit. I'm guessing that a few decades on a shelf by a window has helped with the overall condition, even if it's left the paint faded. Would something like T-Cut or any other sort of mild abrasive cleaner be any good at reviving the original colour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
