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've got a large Bburago Corvette, in silver , the modernish ugly one not a classic Corvette , let me know if you are interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know Corgi made the Datsun, I thought it was superkings (which I have) They made 2 red & a white one as rally cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split_Pin Posted April 3, 2022 Author Share Posted April 3, 2022 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.

Mine's a Leganza! Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I may have been dreaming but I thought I saw a shiter selling a collection of cars for £20 and a box of Corgis for £50. Can anyone locate this post or the seller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunglebus Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 I found some more convincing* fakes As far as I can tell, purple is an approximation of the Matchbox Lamborghini Marzal, yellow is the Corgi Chevy Astro I, the greens are Corgi DeTomaso Mangusta, blues are Corgi/Matchbox Alfa Carabo - but what is the red one? *edit* ID'd as a Fiat Abarth 2000 Scorpio Coupe Concept! - can't think of a toy version though? I thought they'd be branded H.W. like the others I've found, but these are marked TF302 to 306 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom13 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Finally starting to see the new cases in the shops. Had a great score in the entertainer where I bought about 21 cars for me and a mate. 2 treasure hunts and 2 of those limited orange and blue sierras. andrew e and AndyW201 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunglebus Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Day off, too cold and miserable to play with customising toy cars so dug the scanner out. This one's a bit of a curve ball, Solido 1972.

barrett Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Lots to like there. I had no idea Solido distributed Mebetoys in France at that point. I think the Mattel tie-in was already underway at that stage, although possibly not. bunglebus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Split_Pin Posted April 4, 2022 Author Share Posted April 4, 2022 There's a lot of models in that Solido catalogue that I wasn't aware of and I'd like to find. Also, this defines the imagined intended demographic and target market for all reproduction vintage model cars, Lledo, Yesteryear and so on. There's something faintly tragic about the aspirations behind the range. I did have a L'age d'or Citroen Traction and it was a lot nicer than a yesteryear and more of a proper 'model' with fine plastic details and an opening engine cover. The wheels were very accurate too. I no longer have it but I wish I still has as I really like the real car. bunglebus and Datsuncog 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunglebus Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Going through my dwindling pile of unscanned catalogues, I wondered why I hadn't done the Matchbox 1984 effort - it was because it doesn't fit my normal scanner, so I had to dust off the other one with a slightly larger bed, but this one crops off a few mm from each edge and is a pain in the wossname to use. Hopefully the time spend messing about editing the pictures afterwards were worth it, some gems in here that I remember getting new, the green RS2000 set with the glider and trailer and Convoy Truck Stop set especially. I also remember having a Rough Rider, but don't recognise it from this catalogue. I would have been 7 at the time Several mocks-ups to be seen too, notably in the Specials range.
