bunglebus Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Got to both the normal and late start boot sales today. Resisted the temptation of this Puch Some ancient tyres And anything this guy was selling, interesting though some of it was Settle down with a nice cuppa while I show you all the cars I bought Um yeah that's it. Not sure if it was the forecast rain or whether everyone got pissed in the sun yesterday and couldn't be bothered, but both sites were underpopulated with slim pickings. At least it was all cheap, newer boxed tumble buggy was £1 and the others 10-50p Remspoor, Datsuncog, sutty2006 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

155V6 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Not much car boot luck here either.Having a couple of nights away,so visited a couple that I only get to 2 or 3 times a year.All I found were these,a plastic copy of a Majorette Citroen GS Camargue,& a Volvo Estate from a Kinder egg 😂 The Camargue has a hole in the back with a spring in it,for some kind of launcher? andrew e and bunglebus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I suppose it makes sense if no rear bumper or using quarter bumpers on the back, then you’d need a numberplate light. I don’t think any factory Capris used quarter bumpers at the back though, I ran a MK1 Facelift 1600 GT fitted with a hot 2000 Pinto and GXL headlights, that I removed the bumpers from. I used to get stopped regularly by the Old Bill and one wanted to do me for dangerous bodywork , he even called up a Traffic Copper because I wouldn’t accept that it was illegal. Traffic bloke turned up in a Mk2 Granny , had a bit of a conflab with Plod , who came over and said he was letting me off this time 😊 The whole time I was waiting for one of them to notice the lack of numberplate light, lucky it was daylight, I suppose. And yes, my 3000GXL , that I seized on a max speed run with 185/60 tyres ( the follies of youth) had a steel sunroof. andrew e, Remspoor and bunglebus 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierraman Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Probably it’s because very few that had the steel sunroof would have seen more than a few winters out of the rainwater channeled through the sills. NorfolkNWeigh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine's a Leganza! Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Matchbox collection. I have approx 100 Matchbox vehicles that need a new home. They are mainly from the 60's to 80's but some are newer. The earlier ones are in poor to fairly good condition. The later ones very good to excellent. Shall we say £1 per vehicle plus postage depending on how many you might want. All of these can be collected from the SE25 area. Will post next.
