No idea but there's a profit to be made on ebay !  Imight keep it ,i like it . More clutter ??

Brians running original Pirelli P6 tires on that Escort ... 1974  , likely to burst eh ?

[paulplom]

Could anyone give an idea what this is worth?

I bought it from a tat shop a few years ago for £20.

The level of detail is amazing. I can't seem to find anything online.

Tea spoon for scale

The others didn't interest me , though thinkng about it there may have been the F&F Camaro

I've been keeping an eye out for that for the last few years since Asda started selling that F+F range. Some of the other cars look quite good but I try not to buy large scale cars.

Hamley's had that Escort a few years ago but it was a lot more than £7.99, got some pics somewhere

eBay prices are heavily optimistic. These are readily available in Smyth's.

The print underneath doesn't tell us but the model might be 1/18 scale.  I've been chasing it for years on the bay and it's never as low as you bought it!  (Which might explain why I still don't own one myself!)  You could easily draw £30+ for it.

Hamley's, £12.00

This one looks very similar.

 

[eddyramrod]

Yep, that'll be the right thing.  I think you probably found the dearest one there is!

[paulplom]

Make an offer. It's a bit dusty mind!

[C1am]

Does anyone know who made this? The only marking is "Made in Hong Kong" on the base.

Thanks but I could only insult you, sorry.  Dust isn't an issue.

Nearly didn't bother with the boot sale this morning, time and arsed were both in short supply but the sun was out so I decided to give it a look before work. Initially I was disappointed, having got easily halfway through and only finding a Corgi Renault Floride a little too rich for me at fifteen quid. I did pick up a few odds and sods including to my great pleasure a Matchbox Dodge Charger. Pictures later when I'm not pretending to be working..

Just give it to Eddie  Paul , he'll never bloody sleep tonight ! ??

£30 plus postage as a favour?

That’s a Tonka isn't it? 

[C1am]

Similar to a Tonka but I don't think so. 

[flat4alfa]

Tonka and Buddy-L would proudly say they were

Pauls a decent bloke ! ? Go go go Big Eddie !

Taxi! Small scale Wiking/Herpas look like they're waiting for punters outside an 80s nightclub 

Siku Capri is just the right side of saveable

Corvette is doing a bit better - is fibreglass supposed to corrode? Check out the steering wheel too

Blackwall model A is better than my existing one which has broken fenders

Thank you, but I've just spent a bundle on Huggy, so I'm afraid I have to decline.  But I appreciate the offer!

[DoctorRetro]

Had to pick something up at Tesco extra tonight

Found this in the charity shop today for 30p. It looked like someone had tipped out my toy car box from the 80’s. Sadly I’ve no space so this is the only one I took home.

It's late, so while my dinner cooks this was today's top find at the boot sale. I'll get some better pictures of it and the rest of the haul (spoiler :no 1:36 Corgi content) in the morning but I'm really pleased to have found a presentable example. 

[eddyramrod]

Yesterday I was in the town centre so I slipped into The Entertainer.  3for2 on Hot Wheels...

Blue Volvo, woohoo!  Hudson looks very nice, and the GMC Syclone was just the bonus model, so a quid plus postage if anyone wants it.

Didn't know of the existence of those. Bugger, I'd told myself that I don't need to add anything else to the watch list!
