sierraman Rank: Matra Rancho towing a Tagora

I'd seen. It was on a stall of a guy that does house clearance. He had a box full of 70's to 90's Matchbox. I was struggling to resist the temptation to buy the lot. I'm guessing either he doesn't know the value or can't be arsed. The Scammell is particularly nice, save for a slight crack in the roof light it's in very good condition.

 

Put the Hot Wheels on EBay. I'm not a big fan of them, got them here simply because as you say they are in demand so might get a few quid on them.

I had that Dodge Commando, although mine wasn't Kellogg's, but Smith's Crisps. You had to get the tokens off the packets and send them off. It came in a plain white box.... I think I also got a special edition 'Temple of Doom' poster circa 1984 the same way...

Those were the days, either collecting tokens from food packets or getting a free gift in the packet. Why doesn't that happen anymore?

Ive got that Smiths Commando too. My big cousin Kenny LOVED Sq. Crisps as a boy so my Auntie got enough tokens to get me the lorry in double time, I was well chuffed.

These are the only redlines I ever found,

all quite battered and playworn.

Even the battered ones seem to be worth a couple of quid!

Just secured a 1/18 swap tonight which I am quite excited about. My Autoart E46 BMW Btcc car for his Revell VW Corrado. Always wanted a Schabak 1/43 one since they came out at the start of the 90s so this is even better! Best thing is the chap is inly 10 mins up the road so he is coming round tomorrow night. Pics to follow.

Dinky pontiac parisienne. £13 including p&p from shitebay, could'nt get one from a toyfair for that.

 

Was going to give it a paintjob butI don't think it warrants it. True to its canadian roots it has malcolm the mountie at the wheel.

I did not mention that before, but I may also have one or two model cars in my collection.

That´s a part of my model-car-collection. Bad mobile-phone-pics, sorry for that.

No apology needed, Lukas, there's some nice stuff there.   I fancied gathering some of those Tomicas, especially the JDM stuff but have outgrown my allotted collection space already....

Latest addition to the growing collection include this minter

fa2d8a3d4a6c26c44ff932905d202667.jpg

Plan was to pull it apart and build up as a 400 rep but it's immaculate. ..........

Time will tell,already have a bit of a scrap yard feel to the house

e298bef38729006f44f6ef545227a40b.jpg

 

Does anyone have any scrap Auto Art hubs or axles kicking about?

I bought the P38 to build a rep of mine but the po cut all the hubs off,and fitted some shite chrome wheels with thin tube for axles..

 

Don't know why the phone has posted them pics sideways....never used to..

I bought one of those Sunstar Asconas, an Irmscher I2000. It's triffic.

If I was really brave I'd slice it and dice it to make a MK1 Cavalier 2 door using the front end of this:

Less the quad headlamp conversion and ATS Cups.

Those Mantas are lovely. I stupidly let one fo for 15 quid, boxed a few years ago as I didn't know the value of them. Regret.

Got this honey in a swap tonight, 1/18 Revell Corrado VR6. Thought it was unusually nice for a Revell but it was made in 2006 so its not as old as I thought. I love it!

That's lovely. Revell did some ridiculously good stuff in the last decade, much of which was re-branded as Universal Hobbies.

 

I have their Renault 5 Turbo II

And their Clio V6 to go with it.
