a bargain, even in that condition, can we have a close up pic pls!?

Yes I thought so too. Some crap pics taken on an iphone 5!

When I was at school, my Physics teacher/Deputy Head had 1/1 of these in dark blue

Obviously we all tried to get as many "NIce Bristols" jokes in as possible!

One day he had a puncture and was very impressed by the spare wheel inside the front wing

Made in Britain

A tiny bit of mettalic blue paint showing

@FakeConcern yes I have the large no-name caravan  that was an eye watering 10p last week. Had to pay 50p for the latest one. I'll be doing a sale thread at some point anyway so no rush.

The Tonka buggies are one of the things I'm hoping to get 3D printed - really must track the bloke down!

The white Mustang II is from a set I think - there's a red one too

I got an orange Charger dragster off Datsuncog that's also a weird pinkish orange, I think they are affected badly by UV. Looks OK in pictures though

Expand  

That's great about the caravans and the upcoming tat sale.

Hmm not keen on the futuristic transporter, but really like the red Mustang, I'll look out for one of those!

I found the other Mustang, I hadn't realised it has many differences apart from colour, air intake, side exhausts, parachute & rear quarter windows that I've spotted

Also note the pinkish Charger behind the new orange one

It is interesting to note slight colour variations, The Corgi GT70 the @155V6 bought from me is a much nicer shade of green than mine and I almost kept it for that reason. I have the decals for mine, just not applied them yet.

I found some tyres for the P38 Stingray and some of the others I have, Pretty sure I have another red one, but couldn't see it

There's enough pixels for AS! I believe window units are available if you go the resto route.

Last of the Matchbox, starting with some overpaints

Caddy ambulance is pretty good

I don't leave a Pontiac coupe behind

Tidy Fire Chief Galaxie

Good to see an SL with its windscreen intact 

It seems like every time I happen across a green  1100, it looks like Basil Fawlty has got his revenge on it. Finally a decent one 

Steering Mustang evaded me for ages, now I've had lots

I loved my Sun Burner as a kid, I have better ones but I didn't want to leave this in a box of tat

worth getting the repro accessories for that one,  I have with mine

[bunglebus]

Lastly, some VW stuff. Still not forgiven Datsuncog for not snapping up the Guisval Skoda buggy off the market stall, but I did find the Volkswagen version minus the screen pillars

Big Blue (Beetle Streaker to use its formal name) came from eBay

Welly 1302 was 50p in a charity shop

20p was the asking on this Dickie Toys Bumblebee, it's remote control but I only have the car. It's clearly a 1951 Split window with a large rear window added - very odd

Variations what you need...

I would buy the Antar Transporter if you don’t want it!  Inherited one as a child but my Mum gave it away years later in box of cars, without asking.

That’s the smaller, first release Weatherill I’ve been looking for to put on the back of the Bedford low loader Transporter!

Not much at the boot fair this morning, but some interesting things all for 50p each. Second time I've got more than Mrs Concern, but her little boat is a Lone Star Tuf Tots. Annoyingly now we've looked it up and seen what it looks like, we both think the trailer was there as well!

The Matchbox King size fire engine I don't want, but thought I'd rob the tyres for my childhood one as they are about 35p each from Steve Flowers. It's nice condition apart from a slightly bent ladder(and no tyres!) If anyone wants it.

The Matchbox garage with one door I got just as I've never seen one up close, but probably won't keep.

There were lots of old Lesney Matchbox, but I'm not wanting to get into that scale, it would be easier if I did as boot fairs seem to have mostly Matchbox and Hot Wheels.

I picked up the pink Crapi as there was talk about them a few pages back and I shall have a look at that agin in a minute also I woondered if it was one that usually loses the bonnet and this is intact.

The Corgi Land Rover is an early no suspension flat sided one. Until recently I'd never had one and only seen them for more than I wanted to pay, now I have three!

The Unimog Gooseneck dumper trailer is almost perfect, I just need to find a tractor unit for it now and for 50p it can wait until I do unless someone wants it.

Lastly a Corgi Club badge, I think I had one as a kid, but not anymore. I didn't especially want one, but again for 50p why not?

MB 5 series after seeing one on here and liking it

Dunno what's stuck inside

No name MK3 cabrio

Tidy Corgi Ovlov

Sure, if there's something you want

No idea how toy cars are priced? A mate says that the safari land rover is a goodun despite the shit paint. 

[eddyramrod]

For guidance on pricing, look no further than @danthecapriman's Diecast Dickery sale thread.  His prices are refreshingly realistic, in today's world where everyone and his dog wants to buy themselves a Premiership football club on the proceeds of a few manky old toys.
