Yes sorry I have been meaning to respond

No problem.... also I recall now that @bunglebus was very happy to request the Powertrack Escort so only the MK1 Corgi available if you want it adding?

It's been a while since I did a catalogue scan - I still have a few that are a bit awkward and don't fit on the scanner properly. This 1981 Guisval effort fits but comes with its own challenges!

 

Now you've done it! Mrs Concern was looking over my shoulder and spotted the Horizon with surf boards and the caravan, so straight onto ebay ans now bidding on a Guisval dingy with diver! I'd never heard of Guisval before now, but the hunt is on and if we manage to get over to France later in the year another thing to look out for at a Brocante or Vid Grenier.

I suppose the RAC/AA vans are the newer less toy like more realistic type?

Got confused, sorry.

Back here there are Spot-On, Corgi and Dinky vans, all near-enough all same scale.  I keep telling myself the RAC and AA vans are Corgi, but they are not they are Dinky.  Perhaps I get confused because of the original Dinky Countryman being a scale or two smaller.  It's all too much...

Original Dinky Toys.  'Remember this' *says to self*

Collector-era Corgi

A GPO Spot-Off  (because a bit slim and tall) and two Corgis.

What I am after to - ahem - 'complete the set' is the Corgi 450 Mini Van of grille concern

And perhaps a Benbros Zebra

But they are pretty unlikely

And they are nearer 1:32 anyhow

Can add this to a parcel for £2.50

Do you have any Dinky Travellers or Countrymen?

Travellers are either dark green of dayglo orange. Countrymen are Dayglo green, cream or pale blue.

Dinky did the van wrong with the silver grille.

I have an original Countryman with red interior.  It was a repainted mess when I got it .

Also an Atlas Traveller reproduction in white, to keep it company.

Shopping day today. Slow start with Home Bargains. 

Picked up at Morrisons, I do like an Estate. 

Jackpot in Aldi, each till had a Box to rummage though.

I picked up the green Audi estate on Sunday in Aldi at the till. Too tempting!

Are you keeping the gawd-awful wafty seventies orange Benz Estate?

[bunglebus]

Remember the slightly tatty Superfast VW 1600?

I was in the local car spares shop and noticed they sold Holts spray paint - I've got a few old cans I bought years ago and really rate it, so I took the Matchbox in and...matched it

It's just brushed in over the bad bits and is far from perfect - but what an improvement.

No point restoring it as then I can't prove it's an original, and I don't think re-silvering the wheels etc will look right either

That's what swayed me to buy the full pack if I'm honest. 

I have Two spares of the Red Hotwheels  Supras if Any One needs One.

Is it wrong I quite enjoy this from Britain’s?

I'm just cleansing a load of old photos saved in Google photos and found this screenshot from here. It was from a couple of years ago.

Any ideas what it is? Want one! 

[bunglebus]

Are we ever going to see a different batch of Matchbox?

That's a proper bobby dazzler.

I've had it years, honestly couldn't tell you where and when I got it

Not just me that is tired of seeing these then! It feels like they've been about forever.

I suspect not. I feel like buying them all to get the fuck rid of them.

[Split_Pin]

There are some nice items in that case, it's just that they seem to be everlasting.

Is that for digging Lance Stroll out of gravel traps?

[MiniMinorMk3]

A few pages back we had some Dinky Mini Mokes posted. Well here's some from Vitesse.

Original British built Mokes

Cagiva Moke

Australian Moke

Vitesse were a bit lazy with this one and missed some thing off it.

[bunglebus]

Anyone after a Fast & Furious 5 pack?

[bunglebus]

Much excite!

[flat4alfa]

 

Cor!

[bunglebus]

I'll get to the L case presently - in the mean time a small job arrived. 67 shite points if you can ID the maker of the Corvette

Vanguards Mini is easier to ID

Danbox from a couple of days ago contained a Whizzwheels Interceptor, Budgie Wolsley and a roof donor camper

[bunglebus]

The L case had lots of exciting stuff! Might have gone a bit nuts on this one but after nothing but H cases, about half of it was new to me

Trouble Decker is crying out for a detailing

ID Buzz is really well done, if it wasn't for the wheels it would fit in the Matchbox range nicely

Tooned Supra. I should hate this series but there's something appealing about them

Man this one's nice - and the wheels are a must for the customising box

A lot of purple in this case

Poppa Wheelie might be the only Hot Wheels depicted backwards on the card - technically the Reliant front wheel is a wheelie bar at the back of the dragster underneath it

A generic but I liked it

I'm comfortable with my sexuality, I can buy a pink Barbie Corvette if I want
