sierraman Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 This will probably make you sick then, I picked one of those up at a car boot about 6 years ago for 50p. Went straight on ebay. eddyramrod, bunglebus and andrew e 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 This morning I met up with @Jon and his beloved at the Lakeland Motor Museum. And, er, this happened... ...which might be a bit easier to follow in these, after I got home... Nissan truck and Holden ambulance, as Jon kindly offered upthread. The ambulance really is tiny! By request, since he can get them Down Under and I can't here, not one but a pair of Dodge Diplomats. I knew one was dressed as a police car, but not that it was a Thelma & Louise tie-in; that's gone straight into my film and TV collection. The other one will be getting painted, and in a black-and-white police livery too, to match the Plymouth Gran Fury (same car apart from badging) that I once owned. Now... bonus time! Get a load of this! Also going straight in the film and TV collection, but at 1/18 scale, a Greenlight 1967 Chevrolet Impala! It comes from a very successful show called Supernatural, of which I've seen about half an episode, but the Impala.... ooooooooooooooh yes please! They go way over budget on ebay (I know, I watch them), but Jon said this one didn't, because the box could be better and he thought the model was flawed in some way... damned if I can see it! It looks damn good in my cabinet, that's for sure. Jon is an actual Gentleman. If you have dealings with him, feel confident. Oh and now I need another 67 Impala, cheap and scruffy enough to paint blue. Go on, name that film...

Majorette released a few crackers such as a dayglo green Mk2 Golf and the pink and white MK2 Transit Minibus. Matchbox got in on it too with their dayglo versions of regular castings. I think this is the best/worst example I have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spottedlaurel Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Unexpected HW find in a local Co-Op today: Apparently part of the 51st anniversary range (at least a couple of years old?). They had at least three others on a strip on one of the food aisles, Master SL noticed them. I was busy looking for bread sauce or something. Think it was £2.50 (the HW, not the bread sauce). Made up for the disappointment of the charity shop where I often pick up old postcards and diecasts having closed at 3pm (really, on a Saturday?).

Those and a different set have been showing up in co-ops local to me too, but I had them all. You might be lucky and find the gold chase car though!

NorfolkNWeigh Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Managed to get to a car boot sale this afternoon and spent £2 on some Matchbox and Corgi Juniors Just discovered the SD1 is a pencil sharpener, I was happy that it had tailgate glass. Also picked up this nasty Majorette Golf, just in case it’s any good to anyone for the tailgate and glass.

Split_Pin Posted September 18, 2022 Author Share Posted September 18, 2022 The Golf looks saveable, I have a few Majos in worse condition that I'll get around* to restoring some day. The paint just seemed to fall off late 70s and early 80s examples. I have also found Sikus of that era to be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split_Pin Posted September 19, 2022 Author Share Posted September 19, 2022 It's strange, some have it and some don't. The Fiat 127 has a dog but the Renault 5 of the same year has nothing. The Renault 5 MK2 Supercinque has an empty boot, as does the 205GTI, but these are from approximately the same era as the Visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
