Mini Marcos. A find example of the detail manufactures can go to. Like the seats sliding forward. But I do question why. It must have added some cost to the product yet added little to the play worthiness of the car. Opening doors, bonnet etc I can understand. The addition of jacks to this and other cars was a innovative.

There's also these...

IMG_20220113_170641.thumb.jpg.b0f738b7759f2d005225158d75bfa710.jpg

Yes, it's the Corgi Model Club repro models, all ten releases to date, plus the other stuff like the badge, certificate tin, catalogue and mechanic figures.

As you'll maybe know, these retail at £24 each, new (though the first two were discounted to sucker me in). Some are already unavailable. I've spent about £200 on this little lot.

They really are very lovely.

IMG_20220113_170723.thumb.jpg.37a5094c2ff849fcaae291ead46d23bb.jpg

I know I'll regret this, but, I'll be letting them go for £150 the lot, posted.

They're probably for eBay rather than here, but I thought I'd offer them out anyway, for the sake of completeness.

Also other sundries:

20p.

**MARMITE VAN TAKEN!!**

There are other assorted Lesneys and Corgis and modern rubbish too, but really it's nothing I haven't offered out here before with no takers, or stuff you couldn't easily find elsewhere - so I think I'll just have to roll with what I've posted so far.

Right, so that's that, ladies and gents...

I've a list as long as my arm to get done this evening, so I'll check back in later and see what's what, and mark up the posts here and my spreadsheet.

Apologies for the bad timing/ short notice for all this, but things are somewhat sub-optimal at present.

Hopefully I'll be able to get all these packed and posted over the weekend for everyone - thanks so much!

Can I also add the Marmite van and BMW please.

If you’d ever wondered why Corgi went bust then take a look at their model of the Citroen SM, sliding seats, proper metal bumpers, separate glazing units for front and back, opening doors and boot separate hubs and tyres. It must have cost a bomb to make. As it stands I’m trying to make a half decent job of restoring the broken one I got in a job lot.

Ah well. That is pretty much the conclusion I'd come to. I was hoping for something that could sit on my desk to let me ponder how to make that shape. Looking at that Corgi one the answer would seem to be, "not very well,"

You want the Merit plastic kit which was 1/24 or 1/25, if you can find one.  Quite accurate, and completed plastic models don't seem to be worth as much as the boxed kits.  But they are rare.

And we're done.

What's left will be going to the market in the morning.

Cheers for all the diecast orders, kids - will be working my way through them all this weekend, so will drop you a line once I have everything gathered together and totted up, just to confirm.

Appreciate that late January can be the skintest time of the year for many of us, so happy to hold off on any invoicing until after payday, unless otherwise instructed!

Hopefully there'll be some decent parcels landing soon, to bring a bit of sunshine to these dark ol' days.

DC out.
