I see the whisky is missing from the box at the front!

[Amishtat]

Someone knew where the real value lay.. 

[eddyramrod]

Never mind the whisky: yellow Sierra and not one but two R5 Turbos!  That should get one or two of our number excited...

I'm interested in the Red 1.24 Fiat Uno if you can get it?

Also, does anyone have a 1.24 Fiat Punto for sale by any chance?

I'm here for about another hour, I'll swing back by if you'll go a tenner on it?

Yeah, thats cool. Even on eBay they'll be about that price anyway.

FORTY YEAR OLD MAN LOSES HIS SHIT OVER TOY CARS SHOCKER!!!

Well that was achingly predictable.. Full reveal later, time for work now. I've missed doing this on a sunny morning. 

[Richard_FM]

I used to have one of Renault 5 Turbos, which might be up in my parents attic.

Solido, 1:43. Readily available on eBay, as far as I know. 

Came with the 'A Century of Cars' magazine

Corgi Maestro entrails. 

 Despite fresh bulbs and cleaning of contacts, couldn't get it to work. So took it to bits to see why  

Expand  

Same here. Just took out my Meastro, cleaned contacts, new batteries and bulbs are clean an in tact but no play ?

[flat4alfa]

There's nothing to the circuit really, can you the test the continuity?

It certainly did, I've just turned round in my chair to look at mine, still in its bubble, in the cabinet behind me.  Shouldn't be too hard to find on the bay.

I am sooooo glad there are no decent car boot sales anywhere near me because my mortgage payments would be placed in immediate peril.

[Amishtat]

This is only on the outskirts of Colchester so maybe not that far from you? 

[Amishtat]

So, the second update this week from my work car park (sadly no dancing Doctor this time though) 

A Fiat for Lord S

Yatming Beetle looks very similar to the Corgi from the same era

As luck would have it.. The box is coming apart a bit at the seams but it's all there.

Expand  

Correct twice! I probably overpaid on the XJ given the rear bumper is missing but it's a nice enough thing. I gave a tenner so if anybody fancies it just say.. Same goes for the three Corgis, fiver each if there's any interest. 

[Amishtat]

Some Husky delights..

Whats the rest of the Maestro like please?

[Amishtat]

And of course some projects.. Corgi Thunderbird with a hilariously poor repaint, you can just pick flakes of it off. Dinky Impala is marginally worse, but I could see it looking good in a nice gold or something. As for the DAF transporter, it was 20p and looks fairly easy to repair. (Incidentally I know it's no substitute for DC's Tat Friday but we've got to make the best of it.) 

[Tenmil Socket]

That transporter was a bargain!

I'll photograph it better a little later on. A good clean wouldn't harm it but the battery compartment is clean as a whistle so it might work. (No guarantee offered or implied).
