The key is for a different one, which I have somewhere. My pal had the fire chief one though, back in the early 1980s.

Found the car to suit the key at yesterday's boot sale. 

If anyone out there would like this pair as a trade for something let me know.

The spoils from that massive tat box at Barleylands:

A pair of Chinese made Matchbox 928s

a fair Ruff Trek

A Zylmex Plymouth police car that I hadn't seen before

Corgi Mog, doing a custom one of these based on the bubbly one @Datsuncog sent me, but I may need a donor

And this Husky Zephyr Estate formerly belonging to Denis, as it still has its tailgate 

Further along I picked up this trio for 50p each. Guy was amazed when I mentioned restoring toy cars

It was only when reading about Morestone that I noticed they spelt Wolseley incorrectly!

Those Porsche 928’s are quite scarce, they’re from an early 90’s Smash and Crash.

Smyths finally have new stock dribbling in, I think 90% of what's on their shelves dates back to lockdown

Good evening all, I've been delving into boxes of quality tat this evening. Anyone for a Miniature Tat sale once I've finished making dinner?

For the last time, I've had to remind myself not to buy any more bloody diecast. I've already got way more than enough and I need to start selling things rather than buy more.

Count me in!

Yes. Any Matchbox content?

I feel slightly bad,as I paid more for it than it would be in the shops,but I've been after one for ages & haven't had much luck finding one on the shelves.I'll probably find 3 in Sainsbury's next time I go there 🙄

Oh bugger!  I wish I'd known, I'm in need of a Tex Dinoco (I think that's his name); the gold Cadillac.  He's a Coupe deVille, 75 or 76 so slightly younger than Huggy, but I'm sure I could work out a satisfactory conversion.  If anybody sees one at tat-box prices, I want it!

1959 Chevrolet if I'm not mistaken

Is this available?  If so, yes please.  Can we start a box to make it worthwhile shipping?

Definitely the New-Ray one

Perhaps there was dealer-issue stock that was unbranded or had scratched-off branding

Yes, the '59 Daytona 500, Bob Welborn car, no less.  Nice in that livery.  Welborn started on pole but engine let go on lap 75.  He had five poles and three wins that year. 

Those were the days: GM provided a '59 Impala Sport Coupe from a local dealership, the team stripped it down and built a race car around it.  Then got sponsorship from a plumbing firm! 

Apart from that, notice the car in the back is a '58 Ford CONVERTIBLE

Not forgetting the 1/43 Conrad also boxed as a Gama Mini

Might be the best budget route in

[mintwth]

Thanks. Those are makes I'd never heard of. I must have been using the wrong search terms. I'll set up some saved searches and see if one crops up for a reasonable budget. 

Any ideas for a 6N? I've seen some rally spec ones on the bay but no normal ones. I think I've seen normal looking 6N models years back in shops but can't recall the manufacturer. 

[flat4alfa]

Schabak did a Polo Harlequin, so likely they did the range of colours.  Take a look at ebay.de and work back from there

Has Pontypandy's Station Officer Norris Steele stolen the van?

What are they up to?

Is it a blag?

No, it's proof I've been in and out, and in and out, of way too many charity shops recently and gone a bit around the twist.

[bunglebus]

I reckon you have.
