Sadly the headlights are missing along with the sunroof Other bits of note are a tidy Matchbox dustcart Big Bull is one I've not found before Early Lesney Routemaster Just how many colours does the Buick Regal come in? Same could be asked of the MK3 Escort Somehow this is the biggest standout of the lot - very purple Dyane A weirdo - small scale plastic jobbie from a maker I don't recognise This is kinda interesting, Husky Ford F350 with Corgi Juniors sticker Absolutely no idea what these are or who made them Norev Maserati Boomerang is sadly squished And Bagheera is battered I've bid on a Corgi SD1 for @eddyramrodso of course there was one here too Jeep is pretty nice One I didn't know about - Corgi Goodyear Blimp! Another bus of miniature lost souls as @RoadworkUKnamed it Anyone got any info on this Transit Wrecker @Datsuncog There were probably 50 cars but those are the only ones worth posting really I have a Falck Transit Wrecker, supposedly Danish(?) Market only. God knows how it ended up at a carboot. bunglebus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OH MY GOD can you even imagine the state of my trousers if I received this for Christmas as a lad? (or an adult). Fortunately, it being on an auction site outside eBay (link) means I'm not going to bid on it. This is amazing! I might even try and bid on it (a treat to myself as I was 40 on Sunday). Oh, and I won that auction I’d previously mentioned regarding the model I’d never seen before. I’ll post pics once back in the office (currently in North Wales).

Justwatching Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Another 1:64 scale Greenlight model, but with a Christmas theme today - a 1955 Chevrolet Sedan Delivery of "Bob's Tree Farm" with a customer's snowy pine tree on the roof rack. The opening tailgate is a nice extra. Tow hitch gives the option of a trailer. Greenlight almost managed a fault-free model, but unfortunately, the "M" in "FARM" hasn't printed properly on the driver's side. Despite the minor print defect, I really like this one. It's going on the mantlepiece for the festive season. Amishtat, Datsuncog, bicycle repairman and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkyarddog Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I found this today. Strange looking Land Rover. That's a Dodge Charger on the wrong card.

I've just been looking more closely and you need to add VAT and the delivery is £26 so I think it may get a bit expensive unless anyone's in Norfolk?

155V6 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 No cars today,but I did pick up this Matchbox Suzuki RG500 as ridden by Barry Sheene. It's quite a crude model,& is missing a couple of decals,but I was happy for 40p. I used to have loads of 1/18 bike models,but sold them.I did keep a Suzuki TL1000S though,as I had a real one.Now it has the RG500 for company RayMK, Tenmil Socket and AndyW201 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bezzabsa Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 @eddyramrod you still looking for an SD1?? this is from a seller i've just bought a combo from, I paid £19 delivered, where UK seller wanted £40+... 3 days from bid to receiving it too.. This is a bit more though!! w.ebay.co.uk/itm/153058255443?hash=item23a2fba253:g:BFIAAMXQILVS AndyW201, Shite Ron and eddyramrod 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 That looks lovely! However, that very fact makes it too good for my purposes. I want one for not just Code 3-ing, but Frankensteining. I'm not above such things, I have form, as they used to say on The Sweeney. In fact I'm partway through making a Volvo 740 estate out of a Corgi Junior saloon and a Mercury Sable sedan out of a Matchbox station wagon. I'm still in need of at least two Vanguards mk2 Cortinas to convert to 4-door, and a Vanguards 100E for the same purpose. They do, of course, need to be ridiculously cheap, by which I don't mean a fiver posted (that would be too much!). 2cvspecial and Shite Ron 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had it since I was 4 and I remember opening that big box for it at my granny's house one Christmas. How it survived in mint condition I'll never know. The wiring is toast though.
