Absolutely brilliant. I shall endeavor to lay my hands on an HW Escort. Your Escort looks absolutely excellent and makes me wish I hadn't painted mine!

Your Escort looks absolutely excellent and makes me wish I hadn't painted mine! Thanks.I've had it at least 40 years,no idea where it came from,or what it looked like when I got it. I repainted it years ago,it did look quite good until the paint started to fall off 😂 I was going to redo it in the original white & get the James Bond stickers,but I think I might leave it as it is.

Could be - I've been eyeing up a little job lot local to me and decided to grab it. Main point of interest being a slightly down at heal white K-7 It came with mostly Corgi single seaters that will either be flogged on or become parts donors. Tippex finish on the (well timed) Yardley McLaren is quite special. That and the red Surtees have screwed on bases, presumably the work of a former keeper warch and Burnside 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flat4alfa Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Went away abroad to Cornwall for two weeks. Got back and the door mat had multiple you-were-out Post Lady cards. All got redelivered today! Corgi D2D Club Porsche and the figures arrived Crikey I was a bit click happy in July too.... Dinkys and Corgis from a seller who had everything from 99p start and ended at odd times in the middle of the day, so did well there for £16 the lot Also this model kit, which will probably interest @Spottedlaurel I hope to (when get round to it, as got a pile of unmade kits up on shelf again) build into a 1:32 slot car in the traditional Hakosuka GTR silver but with a gloss black bonnet.

Never ever had a 5. Anyhow, fancied this Alpine one because of the tidy stickers and THAT INTERIOR It has opening things which a helmeted dude is inspecting Even better than that, it was 99p It's all your fault.

Burnside Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Apologies on the tat sale delay everyone! Below is what I've gone through so far, although I do plan on adding some more odds and ends at some point. Once I get chance to venture back in the loft. All above 50p each. MB Datsun & Mercury now sold. Escort is missing tow bar and Renault Clio is missing headlights, plus broken window. Next batch above are a £1 each. Renault 18 is missing taxi sign and R5 is missing tab above tow bar. Darda Renault 5 Turbo, playworn paint but otherwise excellent. Motor is working well and even spins the back tyres on smooth surfaces! £5, Sold. Really heavily playworn Siku Audi 80 convertible, with stance yo included. Yours 50p? Corgi Commer, badly repainted but complete. Comes with two rear bodies. Chassis has minor damage see last pic. £2.50, Sold. El cheapo Mini pullback, motor doesn't work and paintwork ruinned by a 8yr me! Held together by screws, so could easily be repainted etc. 50p 1:25 ish El Cheapo BMW E36 RC. Stickers are slightly faded but otherwise body ok. Complete but unfortunately motor appears dead, might be of use to someone. £1? Sold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have both black ones with white helmets and the detailed blue rear passenger - I'd like to find the matching driver for him. Not really into figures but ones similar to that are quite nice to put around appropriate cars. What did you find? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
