Split_Pin Posted September 6, 2022 Author Share Posted September 6, 2022 Conveniently that misnomer Summer Cedric is exactly the same casting as my 'New [Toyota] Crown'. I think its great, its on my shelf next to my Tomica collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Joal one looks to be a direct copy? Can anyone confirm? I have a Joal chassis-cab, ie the mixer with no drum. It's in pretty good shape actually. I keep wondering about making a box body for it, or some such; my chances of finding and fitting the correct drum will be slim, I think. But it's good enough that I don't want to cut the drum stanchions off. Consequently it's sat in my project box for at least three years now, probably longer, which is a shame as I think it's a good model.

Split_Pin Posted September 7, 2022 Author Share Posted September 7, 2022 No reply from the seller as they're probably not awake yet so I tried paying for the 128 3P again and it went through. Thankfully it was only £4.75 posted so not the end of the world if it goes AWOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy18s Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 This arrived this morning from my Portuguese contact. It's another magazine model so no markings on the box or stand to indicate who made it. It's a neat and nicely done model and matches 1 of my first road going Stradas,apart from mine being silver.And had steel wheels. Edit. Don't know why the pics have flipped again... andrew e, AndyW201, w00dy and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunglebus Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 I was hoping to have some new Kenner Fast 111's to show as it would be appropriate, but sadly not.

Split_Pin Posted September 7, 2022 Author Share Posted September 7, 2022 Just watched a Lamley video where he reviews the Escort. Absolutely lovely. Like the MK1 in 2015 it will be quite some time before us mere mortals get one as it's a given that greedy buyers will hoover them up for a profit. bunglebus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsuncog Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Still no new Matchbox or Hot Wheels in Tesco here; just the same ol' leftover rubbish. That Nissan Patrol looks decent for the 2023 case, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkyarddog Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Tesco here in Ireland are changing €3.00 each now for Hot Wheels! Matchbox are a more palatable £2.00 e each still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datsuncog Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Long past lunchtime, but mebbe one to finish off the week... Norev Fiat 127 Series 1, in very 70s green. I think this one was also a magazine partwork, but one that didn't come in an acrylic box - just a plastic and card outer. I can't now remember where I picked it up - possibly at an autojumble or toyfair sometime around 2007. I don't really remember these cars on the roads; rust had finished the vast majority off in short order, although I can recall last-of-the-line hatches from the early 80s cropping up occasionally in scrapyards until the mid 90s. Once, while doing a bit of amateur exploration near an old quarry around 2000, I did find the back end of a 127 in this very same colour sticking out of the ground in a patch of bogland. I couldn't tell if it was an entire car, half-sunk, or just the back and roof chopped and left to rot. I meant to come back with a camera one day, but never did. Base is perfunctory, but casting in the original style 127 badge is a nice touch. Overall detail on this is good, with an excellent interior, and it's an appealing slice of what most people might regard as unglamorous street furniture. And it's sooooo green!

My Uncle Robert had one of these in a darker shade of green in the early 1980s. I was just old enough to remember it. He sold it because, I quote "It went into big holes". To be fair, the base represents pretty much all there was under these. We had E817PMS, a 127 Fiorino work van in the mid 1990s and the underside is pretty much 2 flat floorpans and an exhaust. By 1995 it still had no rust at all but the engine and indeed the replacement, knocked badly. I still have the grille from the donor car in my loft.

Summer of 1986 and it was indeed the saloon as modelled here, with a boot rather than a hatchback. White from new, it had been painted black with what looked like blackboard paint, which was pretty awful. I bought some paint in B&Q and after stripping off what was on it, my dad brushed it for me while I was at work, in a green very much like that, down to the waist moulding (below doorhandles), with magnolia below. Yes, the colours I chose. I sold it after a few weeks and lost track, so the one in the quarry wasn't KKD 177P was it? If you decide to move that on, please come to me first!

bunglebus Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Also got this in the post, think I posted it up on the eBay thread but decided to bid on it. I've seen a lot of these James Bond partwork cars and they do look quite good, but never bothered to get any until I saw this GP buggy. Also got to try out the set of triangular bits @Datsuncogsent me ages ago to get it off the base!

RoadworkUK Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 That's very nice. The Bond partwork cars vary quite dramatically in merit; I've got the View To A Kill Renault 11 (there are two versions... I've got the one that isn't in half), and it's absolutely superb. I've also got the Audi 200 from The Living Daylights, and while it's nice enough, its proportions are sadly miles off. bunglebus, Split_Pin and andrew e 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
