It’s depicted to be the 2.3 Ghia and those were the pattern trims fitted on the really early Sierras. There’s a few variations, racing car, taxi, police etc. Token typical mid 1980’s scene here... perhaps his belt has snapped on his 2.0 Pinto...

Asda also had two 2023 A cases - MK1s similarly AWOL.

Spottedlaurel Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 A blast from the past for me with this one that turned up in the week: First built one about 40 years. Didn't do a great job, but it was one of my first kits. Only the wheels and instruction sheet have survived. Monogram offered this one as part of a range of basic kits with low parts count, but they did a pretty good job on the basic shape and I think this one nicely captures the look of a TR7. I believe there was a special edition 1:1 in the USA that had those stripes and white wheels (although they're plated in the kit). Got lots of others in the queue, but I'm tempted to start this one soon. Split_Pin, Remspoor, Jon and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsuncog Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Bit of a whistle-stop one this morning - unfortunately I have a conference to set up so can't be getting into too much detail until later... Dark mornings. But some decent tat today. Solido Yanks might tickle someone, but they're not quite my bag. Shell promo Maistos were being offered out at £2 a throw - one of the other stallholders came and bought the whole box, though. Assorted Corgi/ Lesney/ Lledo stuff was also going at £2 a pop. Otherwise clean VW camper tempted me, as replacement barn doors are available, but I didn't in the end. Lots of Corgi Juniors cartoon character vehicles, some better than others. Boxed Corgis for a fiver are always going to get my attention, and this wasn't bad. Older boxed stuff was also in evidence, but presumed spendy. 1980/90s vintage commercial releases maybe not in such high demand these days. Still some BP promo Corgi Juniors. Not many new buses or other OO gauge items- I think we've seen most of these before. A few other buses were lurking in boxes behind, but they were mostly pre-war items except these two: I did find a couple from @Cookiesouwest's list - two Darts and an Olympian - but I haven't photographed them yet! There was also this Code 3 Dart, which I left. So I wasn't able to linger for long, and a cursory glance round the rest of the market indicated very little of interest, unless you want to pay £2 for some old-box Hot Wheels (£4 for the MB Opening Parts) Dunno if I'll get a chance to get back over in the early afternoon, but hey - some tat's better than no tat?
