1:76 scale Oxfords which just came as part of a joblot. The Nissan Qashqai that came with it is the sacrificial anode and has been donated to my son

This week's delivery.

Hmm, quite a big box for a 1/43 model. Now remember, "mustn't buy any more GM tat, mustn't buy any more GM tat..."

Bollocks!

Nice posh box though. Must be something classy inside...

Oh.

Not sure what we have here then, it seems it was a promotional pack given to Vauxhall dealers circa 2005 to mark the launch of the Astra H (Mk5), and the Vauxhall CDTi/Saab TiD diesel engines.

Seems an age away now, when high performance diesel engines were being heralded as the future.

So, to the model.

It's a good one, made by Minichamps. Slowly but surely I'm making my way through all the Astras and this fills a Mk5 shaped gap.

I wanted this particular one, as this edition, with the presentation case is the only Minichamps version  I've seen so far in RHD, and badged and packaged as a Vauxhall. No model designation on it, but the alloys, rear spoiler and exhaust trim point to an SRi. 1.9 CDTi obvs...

So, as you'd expect from a Minichamps model, it's well made, accurate and nicely detailed. Vanguards also did a pretty good Mk5 5 door, but this one has the edge.

One detail that lifts it over the Vanguards version is the panoramic roof. Typically for a Minichamps model, the fragile roof aerial was a bit mangled but I managed to straighten it.

Even has a Sat Nav screen on the dash!

I was out and about today and visited Asda, Entertainer, Poundland, B+M, QD, Home Bargains and Tesco. All had Hot Wheels, none had anything new. Good job I had a @Datsuncogdelivery on the step when I got home!

This Corgi is a little bit of a mystery, being Mothercare branded but with a Domino's Toy Shop price sticker, but it has been opened so may not be a matching pair

 I seem to have started getting a small hoard of Tonkas, this van is one of the smaller efforts, but unusually has a moving part

I've had this one before but it went on to pastures new. Don't know if it's a Tonka or not and the base is pretty crusty

I also have one of these that I repainted but not with the ridiculous Carlos Fandango wheels. If it wasn't so rusty I'd leave it alone but the paint stripper beckons I think

Majorette must be the only company that modelled the E30 with extra fire exits

Tidy metal base DS

 This is a proper weirdo. Seen a handful of Matchbox copies, but this only gets the decals right and the casting wrong. Love it!

Dinky Duplo split is tiny!

ISO Grifo is a Super GT with glow in the dark bits

And it works

A couple of commercials, Stake Truck with all its stakes

And this Dumper Truck - I kinda dropped a bollock here thinking it was a Superking, so now I have two...

This is the prize though, I have to admit I didn't know about the Corgi Chrysler Imperial before DC posted a pic of it the other day, but it's a really lovely thing. Amazing that the side windows, folding seats etc have survived intact

It should have door cards, a driver and passenger plus a set of golf bats in the boot, but still...

something...something...then two come along...something!

Loving that! Dealer items that really are exclusive to that trade are quite rare. Great find. I've got a Vanguards Astra H and a 1/18 Welly one but the Minichamps is a new one on me.

My quest to declutter continues. This model tractor in a slightly worn down box, built in West Germany in 1988 was found at my late parents' house. I never knew anything about this, it was just sitting in their wardrobe. Didn't think it would be worth much, so I whacked it onto eBay last week for the starting price of £1.00. Sold for £78!

A few bits from the car boot this morning.I wasn't expecting to find much,so was happy to get these 😁

Darda!
