Haven’t seen a blue one before, loads of the yellow City one but not the blue.

I think it had a union flag on the roof?

If you ever consider moving these on I'd be very interested chap. I have a fairly decent collection of these now, mainly bought from other shiters. I trashed all my large Bburagos as a kid and Polistils were not really sold in any shops near me, which explains why I love them so much now I'm in my 40s.

I expect I will at some point. Not having children and only nieces means there’s not really much point in hanging on to things like this.

from memory, there’s a red Porsche 911, a rolls Royce shadow,  Bugatti, Alfa Romeo, countach,  brown Mercedes, etc.

 

ps, I’ve kept the models i want.

In the mean time I'd be interested in the Corgi Datsun 240z and the Rancho. I didn't know Corgi made the Datsun, I thought it was  superkings (which I have)

A fine choice. To be honest I have no recollection of this Datsun at all. I think it’s the wrong scale - I liked my cars to be the same as each other, and this is sort of half way.

pm me your address and £. Postage went up yesterday too I note! Have you seen what a 1st class stamp costs!!

Just got back from a few days in Skipton, Yorkshire. Checked out about seven charity shops…. nothing! In one shop I did find a well used Matchbox Porsche for £4 😆

Before leaving I found the same Porsche in another shop for 25p

Sure man, unless it's further back I didn't see how much posted you wanted for these 2?

No idea! 

£8 posted?

[Split_Pin]

Sounds good to me. Could you let me have a note of your payment details please?

They made 2 red & a white one as rally cars.

Cheers chap, I mainly collect 1/24 scale Bburagos and Polistils from the 1970s to early 1990s.

[Split_Pin]

That's me completed what I would call my first proper diecast purchase in well over a year. Cheers @richardmorris!

During that time I've only ever bought models of the 1/1 cars I own as there has been about 5 or 6 fleet movements since the start of 2021.

This purchase is because I want the actual item and I'm going to collect a few more again. Possibly browsing @Cookiesouwests model bus thread got me interested again.

Hi all had a clear out and got a box full of cars 

Can't tell if that's a really early Hot Wheels or a later one 

But that's definitely a Lone Star

I reckon the Hot Wheels is a Mercury Cougar from about 2002,& the Jag is Matchbox
