Darkfour's model car clear out


Recommended Posts

Posted

My parents are having a clear out of their attic and found several model cars that I no longer want. I'm in the USA and the models are all in Sussex and shipping them here isn't financially viable.

 

Rather than toss them out I thought I'd offer them up here. I'm not looking for any cash for them except to cover the postage which I'm guessing is around £6-8 for each larger model. Not totally worked out how to take payment but maybe cheques sent to my parents would work. Collection could also be arranged.

 

Oh and I used to be a Beetle fanatic so please forgive me.

 

Anyway first come first served.

 

First up 3 unmade model kits.

Box of assorted cars I'd rather not send this entire lot in one as I guess it's heavy. If there's anything you spot then let me know and I'll see if I can it pulled out the box and shipped.

That car tin in the box of cars brought back forgotten memories of my brother and I having one each, in different designs.  I think they originally had boiled sweets in them.  I've also not seen one of those Beetle pencil holders (the pink thing) since about the same time.

Yep and the white car with the red stripe all around is Face's Corvette from the A Team.

Mate you would get good coin for the Polistil Fiat 128, someone on here snap it up! I have it and it's great.

 

You would get 15 for the beetle and a fair bit for the red Porsche as it's an HW.

Ps I'll take the driving School Beetle in the big box of stuff. Happy to bung you whatever for it 😀

Ooooh! Ooooh! 1303S kit for me please! My first ever car, been looking for a model for ages :-)

My first car (bought, rather than borrowed from the parentals) was nearly a 1302S, but I went for my French teacher's old Dyane 6.  The rest, as they say, is history.

Great. Now you've spoiled it for me.

What's the beige car with 48 on it?  Looks like a shortened panda with a boot!

Posted

I can see 2 of the Driving School Beetles,I wouldn't mind the other one please,& the 2 carded Siku Beetles if that's Ok.

Posted

Sierraman I'll see if I can get some better pictures of the cars in the assorted box. I remember having a Lesney made Beetle at one time that may or may not be in that box.

 

#48 is indeed a Fiat 128

 

#96 is Renault Alpine

 

The boxed red Dinky is a Tucker Torpedo

Where is your Golden Wonder Corgi Sierra?

Everyone had one! :D

Posted

Red Porsche GT3 and Blue Renault Alpine please, just let me know how much inc postage please pal

What matchbox stuff is there? Might be interested in the white AMX pro stocker?

 

That one brought back some memories as I have one of them in the loft at my Mums house. Was one of my favourite cars as a kid along with the brown TR7 to keep up my Autoshite credentials.

Update time, so far

 

Pillock 1303S kit. My parents just sent me this. The 1303s has a slight crack on roof about 1 cm from middle to door post. All bits are still in original bags unopened.

If you can PM me your addresses I'll get my parents to ship them out. Once I know the cost of postage I'll PM you and then you can send the cash/PO/cheque to my parents. That way you won't pay over the odds and I trust you all to pay up too.

Also the beetle rally car kit is OK but the body is completely cracked across the roof.

I'm happy with the 1303 condition, let me know how much and where to send said amount to :-)

Ooft, those HWs also worth some coin! I'll PM you my address just now. If it's cheque, could you let me have a note of your parents address to send it to please?

 

Wanted one of those Driving School beetles since I was about 3!

Posted

Could I add a couple please?,the yellow Majorette VW K70 from the bottom pic,& the red Beetle with the Iron Cross from the Matchbox pic  :-)

Posted

Not quite sure what's been bagged and what's not... if still available I'd love any of the Beetle build kits and the blue Bug with a steering wheel on the roof.

Posted

I'd be interested in the 4 Hot Wheels cars,also the red VW van in the last pic.

If you would be willing to post them to the R.O.I?

 

If you could find out the postage cost,I'd happily pop some cash in the post to you.
