Probably not worth it - missing headlights, paint damage and a crack to the back glass. Ah never mind, cheers anyway. Mint boxed ones still seem to go fairly cheaply.

If so, would be good here Marlin was the first one I picked up, funnily enough - but a poor repaint with both pillars cracked and messily glued, a roughly drilled base, and missing a door. I put it back... 1 hour ago, flat4alfa said: Crikey 50p? All three Monsters then Can do! Or just the Bigfoot Ford, if you prefer. 1 hour ago, flat4alfa said: A fiver for the Cougar? Yes please. I do have one and it is tidy. That red one deserves an effort like this idea: The car from Target Looks ideal - there's some light cracking to the glass, but it's otherwise complete and should respond well to another repaint.

I have the Spot-On hard top, bought in a weak moment while in a Cornish antique shop, the type with PRICE TAGS. Don't ask how much I paid for it The Dinky was actually bought in France last year, it was pretty much a tenner IIRC from a street market table, even missing the screen and a headlamp too Picked up the New-Ray (the light red one) cheap, meaning to utilise the screen for the Franco Dinky, but it's a bit too nice on its own after all! andrew e and Datsuncog 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glider 91 is significant because it landed the first troops in France on D-Day 6th June 1944.

Datsuncog Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Fiver for the Matchbox Dinky Mini Cooper seems very reasonable - the box doesn't even appear UV damaged.

danthecapriman Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Got myself a couple more old Hot Wheels models, Ford Fairmont and Dodge pickup. I had both of these when I was a kid but they’ve long since disappeared so bagged these two off eBay. The Fairmont is in really nice condition, Dodge is good too and the bed cover is complete which my old one was missing.

Datsuncog Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Home again - and today's finds stashed away in respective tat boxes. A varied selection, but I'm well pleased with them!

I'm quite upset about that Cresta, it's a colour scheme I don't have, and particularly want. The Jensen and an Elan would have found homes here too, as would the red Victor that was next to the Cresta, if the price was right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warch Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Went on a family trip to the big smoke (well Shrewsbury) and treated myself to some Hotwheels (3 for 2) so £1.60 each from The Entertainer. First off this Dimachinni Veloce, which is apparently completely fictional but actually is a fantastically cool looking design, with elements of Lancia Stratos. I collect rally cars and off roaders, so I had to have this new shape Bronco. Just a cool looking update of the classic design. The piss de resistance was this awesome Nissan Patrol Y60. I’d really like a full size one, they didn’t sell many in the UK because it wasn’t high status enough for the Range Rover brigade. I did have a quick go in my mate’s dad’s one which was a straight six petrol (same block as a Skyline) and it was pretty awesome. Nowadays they nearly all live in Romania and have been fitted either with the actual engine from a GTR Skyline or the M57 engine from a BMW 330 or 335d. Probably the most awesome off roader ever built. Still looking for a Hotwheels 80 Series Landcruiser.
