Charadee shop finds 99p a bag!

I saw the Commer and random Super-fast's in the other bag and I had to have.

Got home all pleased with the £1.98 purchase. That Ford Pick up is near mint as the others are. Then I remembered a few other bags one bag had a Super-fast beetle for 99p why didn't I buy that one? Then I wondered if the back end of the Commer chassis was in one of the other bags, so back I go.

Beetle had gone, but this bag had a Britains motorbike and Matchbox fire truck so it was worth the effort for 99p.

Also that day in Tescos a Bustle back Cadillac, Ford Custom and AS coulored van .

I haven't done that well for ages.

Tempting - but leaves me with several holes for the missing mirrors and roof sign. Maybe some fake weathering..?

Keep the AA livery, it's smart 

Perhaps knock-up a roof rack like that ^ to hide the hole(s) ?

It's not like a three-wheeler is going to see much track action anyhow.  A publicity show car, on a motor show stand, with AA Patrol Man trying to flog you a years worth of cover

Dreamer's corner this morning at a local charity shop:

Dunno if you can make out the label all that clearly - it was kept behind glass, for  reasons that will soon become evident - but that's £75 asked for eleven unboxed Days Gone, three Matchbox Model A Fords, and one of those Corgi Cameo Beetles that you literally got free* with Cornflakes.

Quite.

The boxed Days Gone Vanguards to the left are a tenner a throw.

I can just imagine the hatchet-faced harridan behind the counter going "Them's rare, them's Dinkys..."

🤡

Nah, don't think there are any Vanguards fanatics on here...

And, of course, Hot Wheels even had a go at a drag racer supervan,

There was even a Rover V8 engined Robin built in the '90s which kept the single front wheel layout,

Today's autojumble finds are as follows. 

Firstly this rather spiffing remote control driving game!

Now one can be like Father and drive sensibly around ones town.

Splendid fun old bean.

This is what the charity shops usually look like. TEN POUNDS with free cracked windscreen and bent axles!

Bleeding Jesus! Where do they get these figures from!? 
 

Makes the racing Mini I put in my sales thread somewhat of a bargain at 50p with good screen and straight axles! 
@sierraman I’m charging you more!😆
