The Spot On a Bristol is an amazing buy as they usually go for nearer 10x that

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!

Just havin a look like...

I’ll be selling all those fantasy ones like this soon

Will sort out what there is

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?

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.

I have interest in these as projects

[bunglebus]

Purchases. First up, Kidco '36 Ford Coupe. Cardboard envelope did not do a good job of protecting the blister

However, I'm not going to get too upset as I finally found this

There are probably about four people on the planet who know or care what it is

Yes, the plastic van that hides a plastic copy of the Matchbox Sand Digger inside - an Impulse Pinch Popper to give it its proper name.

I had the black bug when I was a kid and always remembered it despite my original being long gone. It probably came from a jumble sale, I knew it was a Sand Digger at the time but had no other info. Took a long time to work out what it was and find both parts.

Now I just need the red van which I'm assuming exists due to this

[flat4alfa]

Found out pics.  Opportunity to repeat-post

If you like messed-up proportions, this is what you need

Lucky Toys 'INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION' Ford Capri Mk1

in about 1:25 scale and made in Honk Kong

Might look naff - well I did have a bit of buyer's regret as I felt I paid too much for it at a tenner - but a few months later it was bid-up to around £20 on 'bay

...and that was 4 years ago

[andy18s]

[sheffcortinacentre]

The silver one is probably the press car & appeared in an episode of the professionals as Doyle's car.

I'll let you off then. I do like a Lucky, especially when it's an obvious copy 

Is the Cortina based on the Corgi?

Matchbox?

No mistaking this one

Matchbox again

And again

Grusome

Corgi

Corgi again

Siku?

Matchbox 4 shure

Not sure as the corgi is a 2 door, I think the 1/32ish scale one is based on that.

I'm missing the fire chief version.

There's that on a jam sandwich one, a yellow civvy one & a red fire chief version.

Newest luck toys I've seen is the MK3 escort XR3.
