New Lesney for £1. Steve Flowers does the rear lid. However what's the paint colour I need I wonder?

Visit from Herr Junkman achieved yesterday.  Small chod successfully exchanged for less-small chod, both parties happy.  Plenty more to go at!

Finished the rest of Sunday's haul:

I like how they must have smashed the window the dog is peeping out of.

I got a pretty good match from a Wilkinson generic royal blue rattle can.   In reality once the back panel is in there is little to compare it to visually unless you stare at it from rear birds-eye view!   I found the Steve Flowers one did need a bit of cleaning up of the casting to fit nicely but its a good replacement.

Just acquired a weird 'Old Cars' Iveco Daily minibus off of eBay. Pretty shoddy build quality but fascinatingly obscure given how hard it is to find two of the same anywhere.

Detailing is good, just the quality of manufacturing is sub par...

 

I also got a Mebetoys Ritmo from when the range was rebranded as hot wheels. Astonishingly good quality for it's era.

 

Both were cheap.

Is it similar to this one?,I know what you mean

Yep! Except mine is a green minibus. It's almost like an Italian NZG/Conrad.

I have a Iveco Turbo articulated Lorry made by Old Cars. Its quite detailed and heavy.

[sierraman]

Purchased over weekend 25p. I've got this one twice but at that price...

[sierraman]

Again another battered one, bought this simply for the tyres and the grill that will fit one of my others. Red Frontera as well.

My favourite car boot find from the weekend,I was quite chuffed for 50p 

 

[Split_Pin]

Good find, not too many Efsi models about.

[Felly Magic]

Those Old Cars Iveco Dailys are like the real thing, fucking awful LOL. I've actually driven an E reg Daily with Robin Hood bus body, and bloody hell, a glacier was faster, top whack was a dizzy 45 mph

I've got a bit of a soft spot for them,in my 1st driving job I had a C reg Daily & a B reg Transit(both petrol   ).

[mercrocker]

Nice, that EFSI Walk-Thru.   Madurodam is a model village attraction near Rotterdam, a good place to visit and pretty much as it was back in the Sixties.   The other big Dutch maker, Lion Cars, did a Walk-Thru as well.    Don't remember seeing that many of the real ones over there in the Sixties, though!

Absolute steal. Mine cost four times as much and I still think I got a good deal. Looks in damn good nick too.

[Felly Magic]

I've quainted up my Cavascona, the chromed wheels looked bloody awful, now looks much better, and I've found my small Ixo screwdriver, so can get this bugger to bits, it will eventually be right hand drive

 

 

 

 

 

[Junkman]

I know what you guys want.

You want me to break the suspense and reveal the outcome of the Junkman/Eddyramrod interface.

 

Well, here we go.

 

 

 

The lot contains one of the oddly loaded Cola Floats (that's what Junkdaughter #2 calls them):

 

 

 

Also these two trailers:

 

 

 

They enable me to finally put my tractors to good use:

Completely unrelated to my visit to Eddy (no, really!) is this wonderful influx of warped French plastic.

 

 

 

The Panhard came all the way from New Zealand, courtesy of Jon. It thus is the furthest travelled model I've ever owned.

 

 

 

 

The rest are pretty locally sourced in comparison, I got them from my favourite purveyor of shonky Norevs in Spain.

 

 

 

 

 

 

There is a one out of nine chance to get #1. So I did it.

 

 

 

 

 

But wait! What is this?

 

 

 

An original box!

What are the chances?

[Felly Magic]

Nice additiuons to the JM fleet there, and so glad that Eddy's goodies stayed in the fold. You are a sucker for wobbly French plastic. Well played sir

It's pretty much mint.It came in a box,I'm guessing it was bought as a souvenir & never played with.

Now that you mention it JM, I recall you posting that up a while ago. I love obscurities like this!

[Felly Magic]

Did it come with mini pork cylinders or bonbonbonbonbons? 

[Jon]

Phew! Glad that orange Panhard made its way safely to the North West of England. And to think that this time last week, I was merrily stuffing it in wrapping before posting. The wonders of modern international postage!

[Junkman]

It was incredibly well packaged and arrived completely unscathed.

 

Thank you so so much again!

 

It's my first Norev Panhard and it will forever be remembered to have come from as far away as this planet allows.
