I think your offer was about right. Loads on eBay, maybe a slight premium for the ones with removable wheels. JPS Lotus is really common

probably in a lot better condition too

It’s poor. The interior looks like a bathroom 😅

Tidemark Jaguar please because I need better glazing for Eddy's old one, now repainted

and the Majorette pickup please as it's got the load cover 

 

Isn't the Group 4 the one that doubles as a money box?

£2 each?  Does that include the XJS and the Lucas truck?  If so, count me in please, for both of those.

Finished this Cougar dragster yesterday. Started with an engineless donor and robbed the lump out of a Tanzara which is part of the interior so had to be cut down. Also had to cut away part of the casting which the original engine sits on, and enlarge the bonnet hole. Wheels are I think off a cheap Chinese F1 car.

Had a couple of problems, lacquer pulled colour out of the rose gold on the bonnet, and somehow got superglue on the other side so I'll try and sand and polish that off. 

(Not the donor - had one with no engine cover)

I've been wanting to paint my spare one up in the original colour

But can't find the colour paint anywhere.  Been to several motor factors and been online.  Similar colour search for the HK Admiralty Grosser waiting for paint, to hit two birds with one stone,  Didn't want to go to the expense of having one mixed specially of course

A couple of car boot finds from this morning

The Wild Honey Dragster is better than the one I already have,so will be staying.The Ghia is very tatty,but complete apart from the headlights & steering wheel

Available for the pound I paid if anyone wants it.

I called into Tesco on the way home,the Matchbox bin was nearly empty,but I spotted a full box on the top shelf.Good job I'd gone out in the Puma,as the Laguna's key card is no good at opening boxes 😂

I pulled out these three,as I was a bit short of cash after the late night eBay incident earlier in the week

I might go back later in the week & get a couple more

No problem. Please be aware that there’s a small piece missing from the load cover. I’m not sure about the Group 4 thing? I think they all have the same number combination though 😆

Hello all, I am not a collector of tiny tat but I've had a large box of it sat in my loft for years that I've mostly sold on ebay here in the US. There's a few left that didn't make the cut. These are offered 'free' but of course shipping is the problem as I won't be traveling to the UK any time soon. Does anyone want this lot? The cheapest international shipping I could find via USPS was $14.50 so for that 'price' they are yours. I doubt anyone wants them but I thought I'd throw then on here before they go to a local charity shop here. They are earlier matchbox/lesneys mostly for spares or repairs. Here's a pic.

Great offer! I used to own both the trucks on the right. This thread is amazing at jogging the memory! What models are they? Postage prohibitive to be honest, but will look on ebay for equivalents I think...

The dumper truck is a matchbox series # 48 - all there with wonky wheels. The other says 1968 Ford Heavy Wrecker truck # 71. All there with crane/hitch but busted light and cracked screen.  I'm sure you could get a better one locally but here they are..

I've started a thread for my ongong diecast sale, more to be added during the week...

Could I claim the C Class please? As I’ve just bought a 1:1 example. Also the blue CX Safari as you’re sending something anyway.

[MarvinsMom]

so that was a bust, going to Tesco cos we didn't even get there!

needed some paint so have had to brave the diseased hoards at Skippers Lanes B & Q.

got a flat tyre...... got it changed, Kerry starts mithering on cos car is now on a dustbin lid spare, we gotta go to Kwik Fit, she says, there are other fast fit rip offs about, but they are closed, or she is uncertain of their location.

i don't want to, cos my experience they will say, tyre is fucked, you need a new one. better to wait ,and go and to Browns sometime during the week, and get it fixed then.

oh no,  says kerry, that will repair easy cos Browns at home have repaired worse tyres than that for us. Kwik Fit will definitely be able to do it.

well guess what. Kwik fit DID say it needs a new tyre. and their "cheapest" one is much more than any chinese death ring i can get off our local spot.

so car is still on a dustbin lid, and no matchbox austin healey for me!

i should have fuckin' stopped in bed!
