Corgi whizzwheels Jaguar pace car.

Hopefully I can find some stock cars to go with it sometime.

I like these - rockets were meant to rival hot wheels red lines. Unlike hot wheels they do not dissolve with zinc pest. I have quite a few.

Quick resto of Corgi Mini. Have attempted a few this week, this was the only one the paint chose to stick to...

Impulse buy, went to buy some fag papers and came out with this R4 camper from the film Trafic

Spruced up another toy fair find. Expensive etch primer was worth every penny!

Nice job on a tricky subject (with the three layers of colour and that blasted bonnet!)

In its 'before' state that Herald looks just like the one in the Field of Dreams

Right, I haven't had much luck disposing of stuff here before but let's have another go. I just unearthed a box full of diecast junkyard fodder which will be going in the bin unless anybody here wants it.

 

These have all been repainted, badly, by a hamfisted pre-teen me, some are missing parts, most have had their rivets drilled and bases removed. Some are better than others but all are restoration/parts.

 

Obviously I don't want proper money for them but a contribution towards postage/packing/my time would be appreciated. I really CBA packing up loads of individual bits and would prefer to sell in bulk, but shout if there is anything you would like.

 

Sorry for poor pics

 

OSFs - The SIKU Granada wagon is fairly tidy and I'd guess not common

 

Americans

 

1960s-'70s Matchbox/Husky etc

 

Citroens

 

Sports cars

 

Commercials etc

 

AOB

 

Scrap

[mercrocker]

How much for the whole lot?

The daughter, bless her!!    , got a line on some guy [faceache linkkie] in NornIron blowing out his Corgi collection.

 

She hooves up and flashes her mobile at me.. screen shots on.. and (desperate for an Xmas pressie) asks if anything floated my boat?

[Laseraligningfoofooflanges]

Very nice Z!

[eddyramrod]

Oh I remember the Technocrats!  They were a comic strip used in Corgi advertising in the early 70s.  The clean-cut hero type was called Zak, I think.

 

Nice find

[chodweaver]

Zak, Whizz and HW.

 

But what's this? There's a GIRL technocrat? I don't remember a GIRL technocrat!

 

Yup. Penny.

There has been some Majorette acquisition at a recent toy fair.

 

 

The DS Ambulance comes with a patient:

 

[Junkman]

Some new Hotwheels were hoovered up as well.

 

[Split_Pin]

Ive got that DS and I also had the Neoplan. When I was a kid I had a friend who used to go to Switzerland every summer and he would bring me back a model car. I no longer have the bus but I do have the first car he ever brought me back, a Wiking 1/87 split window Beetle in PTT livery. At the time I had never seen a midel car so small and accurately made and immediately loved it. Im glad I still have it.

[eddyramrod]

I have that DS ambulance too  Nice little model!
