sutty2006 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I ventured into the loft this afternoon. I seam to remember someone posted up a mint version of this, majorette? battered matchbox superkings transporter these were always my favourite. Superkings had opening parts and working suspension. The merc and jag were up there, right at the top. siku stuff. Always loved the attention to detail in these. matchbox rover sterling…. Ooooooopphhhhh. this merc 240d just says made in Great Britain underneath. corgi triumph acclaim. my only Britain’s landrovers this Range Rover is majorette I think. It didn’t come with this caravan, but it fits. I can’t remember what it came with, probably a boat or similar. another majorette, Toyota. a lot of my stuff is matchbox, corgi, majorette by the looks of it.

bunglebus Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Tin plate stuff can be really frustrating - so often they have no clues at all as to who made them. I've had a handful and still never 100% ID'd them I think this was Bandai but couldn't find one exactly the same RayMK, danthecapriman, eddyramrod and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split_Pin Posted January 19, 2023 Author Share Posted January 19, 2023 My Mini Manifique arrived from @danthecaprimanand I'm delighted with it. One has been on my bucket list for years. Out of the myriad Mini castings available at the time, one with full opening features was what I wanted. It's in great condition. I have ordered a pack of 20 jewelled lights on ebay for a fiver so I can also fix my polis Beetle.

Now lives at Haynes Museum TMK 428Y was done by an engineer in Norfolk. Currently on a SORN, last on the road 5 years ago Here's one I made earlier thanks to Oxford Diecast making both Rover and Volvo. The model actually looks more elegant than the real one. @Slowsilver has actually seen TMK in the flesh. It belonged (and probably still does) to a chap in Bedford who was selling a blue Maxi he ended up not buying. I think it had been damaged and was waiting to be fixed. danthecapriman, flat4alfa, Datsuncog and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, the front end is die cast on the weirdo, plus the rear opera window is cut out - and in fact, the rear windows themselves seem different sizes. And the front wings are elongated on the white one. So maybe not... Funny old casting to be made twice, unless there was a Dodge Magnum featured in a TV series at the time? Failed promotional tie-in?

This is all your fault you lot. Not entirely sure what the allure is, but most likely something emotional about the final days of Dinky… Trying to avoid* getting the missing ones. And why? They are not nearly in Mini-Dinky or Lone Star league, but also occupy that same shelf. But… do have snazzy paint/decals and in some cases AN OPENING THING Toyota Celica, Chevrolet Chevette, Honda Accord Chevrolet Camaro (owned since a boy), Pontiac Firebird, BMW E25 Turbo There is an imposter in this set.
