Diecast experts! Does anyone recognise the Pilen Mini cooper casting, or is it an original? It has several distinctive features so hopefully one of you will know. (photos nicked from ebay)

(some versions have separate red plastic lenses for the rear lamps)

Any ideas?

It's very similar to the Corgi Whizzwheels version,although the Pilen is LHD,I didn't know that as mine has no dash or steering wheel

 

They're identical in size

The Tomica Dandy is close as well,although the grille is quite different

The unknown yellow model is still for sale yes. The M-Class and M3 are yours.

I’m sure I’ve got one of those, but it’s got tin bungs on the roof.

A few new 5 packs have appeared

Just looking more closely at some of the cars in the "new" 5 packs that are in Tesco now - the Japan Tourers one on the right contains a Datsun 510 Rally that appears completely unchanged since it came out in 2017 - have they got loads of spare stock, seems odd to re-make it rather than do a straightforward recolour or something

Nice to see the Nissan Junior in there as that was in one of the cases we missed out on. I did eventually relent and buy the set and another, MBX Highway II as I had some discount, no pics cos CBA tonight so here's someone else's

[andy18s]

My Portugese contact is offering these for around £20 each,posted to me here in Bulgaria if anyone is interested?

[stuboy]

I know its not shite.... but its great quality...

Now that is not shite. Glad you did not listen to me and my silly jokes . 😄

Yellow Crapi with the bent axle is done. Chose an era appropriate shade of Purple Velvet. Went to town detailing this one and got a set of 3D printed RS 4 spokes for rolling stock. Also reduced the big "hump" around the rear post on the base so it looks more like a spare wheel well.

Minix (Triang-Rovex) Viva HA

A pair of Matchbox Thames vans

Crumbs man that's amazing! It's like a present-day World Class series.

[sierraman]

I remember the World Class series, they were the ones with the rubber tyres and the detail? 

[bunglebus]

Yep pretty hard to find these days.

Boot sale #1 complete. See anything interesting? 

[155V6]

Nice Majorettes 😎

[Split_Pin]

Some Micro Machines ( a few knock off ones ad well).

Love the majorettes and the pull back 9000. Is that a Corgi copy?

[eddyramrod]

On the front row: what's the red car with the white roof?  And what scale?

It's a Kees, I have found them before in both red and blue, but couldn't resist.

It's a Toyota Crown taxi - bought with you lot in mind.

Second bootsale saw me finding this

Which has grown my finds pile a bit!

Nice haul. Is that a Guisval Citroen BX I can see in there? I could probably give that a home if it's not a keeper...

It is indeed, probably hanging onto that one I'm afraid. 

Kees Saab is up for grabs though, couple of glazing cracks etc

As is the Chinese made Crown taxi - paid £1.50 for this as I thought someone would want it

I found several big boxes of cars, annoyingly the first one saw "pound a car" quoted after I'd sorted out quite a few I wanted. Did a deal in the end and there were some definitely worth it, such as this Dinky E-Type

Hadn't seen this colour of the ugly Matchbox 911 before in person

Most expensive single car was this that cost me £5 but was too nice to leave behind

That huge pile of cars at the later boot sale netted me quite a few, some if which I'll punt on, this somehow has defied all the odds and has uncracked glazing! It'll donate that to my custom one, I'm just amazed. They're ALWAYS broken, so to find one in that jumbled heap...

[bunglebus]

Onto VW stuff. This is my find of the week, some of you may remember me netting a Tomy AFX set from this boot sale last year, minus the MK2 Golf. That box of pound a car vehicles included this so I walked away grinning

I've also been trying to track down one of these Majorette buggies, one of a number of Majos I scored from a seller today

Tidy Hot Wheels for 25p

Of course missing the rear hatch, but I have donors

[bunglebus]

In the more unusual area, we have a Marx Caddy with intact interior/base card

Playart E-Type

The Guisval BX - gave £1 for this

Pulled this Darda out of that huge 3 for £1 pile, should help refill the coffers

Can't put my finger on why this Corvette looks so familiar, marked Playskool 

Another fake Matchbox by H.W.

Trickshifter with no shifter

Only found a couple of Hot Wheels, blackwalls Pug and a Crack-Ups
