Datsuncog Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 Okay, pics unearthed on the phone's hard drive, so let's get the Cararama stuff finished off here.***SOLD SOLD SOLD*** Ford Transit with trailer and RIB, in Fire Service Investigation Unit flavour. Not a bad rig.£6 posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsuncog Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 ***EDIT: SOLD to Mr. Quicksilver**** Genuinely odd one here: We appear to have a 1950s Chevrolet towing truck, wearing Ford livery, pulling a modern double-axle trailer with a Jeep CJ2-A on it. To make matters even more baffling, the Jeep appears to be without its most distinctive styling feature, its grille - instead there's just a flat piece of painted metal. Take it away for £8 posted, it's doing my nut in. There's a lot of detail in there, mind. The ramps on the trailer slide out and the jockey wheel pivots and all.

Datsuncog Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 ***OFF TO PASTURES NEW*** A rather pleasing little set now - Mini Countryman with caravan. I seem to remember this was sold as a Marks & Spencer 'gift solution' for Fathers Day, back in the mid-2000s - so could well be a set exclusive to them. £5 posted!

Datsuncog Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 Trucks now! ***SOLD*** The bin lorry's been claimed already, but how about a Mercedes street sweeper? £5 posted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsuncog Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 **** SOLD!**** Mercedes Actros 6-wheel box truck, in suitably generic 'Logistics' livery. Opening doors at the back, mind. Also £5 posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsuncog Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 **** SOLD SOLD SOLD **** Another 6-wheeler box truck - think this one might be a Scania. (You can tell my knowledge of commercial vehicles putters out beyond anything bigger than a Transit.) Fiver! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsuncog Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 ****GONE ALSO **** Lastly, Mercedes Actros 'Euro Gas' tanker. As with all of these, a good basis for a Code 3 repaint, I'd hazard. £5.00, posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsuncog Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 Now, just as the aforementioned trucks are 1/80 scale rather than the 1/72 scale most of Cararama's cars appear in, here's a few smaller scale trucks that I'll warrant are intended for US railway modellers, at 1/87 scale. International something-or-other tractor unit. £4 posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsuncog Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 ***SOLD!!!*** Another International, this time a skip truck - and this one has an amazingly intricate and fully functional extending boom mechanism, for literally hours of fun (hey, I did). £5 posted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsuncog Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 And the final International, this time a tipper. Again, the tip bed works. £5 posted, with usual caveats of amazing discounts for bulk purchase and so forth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsuncog Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 Some bigger playsets now. This one encompasses a Mercedes Actros Fire Tender, a Mercedes Vito police minibus, and a Mercedes ML420 paramedic response vehicle. Comes complete with two giants and some pieces of gym equipment, for reasons I cannot fathom. £10 posted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quicksilver Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Yep, that Chevy tow truck is the one I called dibs on. I'm enjoying your sales patter - who could resist buying such finely described piles of miniature chod? Datsuncog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsuncog Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 Okay, a few playsets that are more kiddy-oriented in terms of colours and accessories, now: This is a Tesco Junior explorer set, comprising: Merecedes A-class (orange) BMW X5 (metallic blue/grey) Chevrolet Caprice (green) Mercedes CLK (yellow) Saab 9-5 (silver) Mercedes E-class estate (red) Mercedes rigid transporter truck, in the wrong scale A working inspection ramp Shitloads of signs, barriers, cones, little men etc, ideal for finding in the dark with bare feet. Price on this? Looking £10 posted. Honestly don't know what, if anything, these are worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote I'm enjoying your sales patter - who could resist buying such finely described piles of miniature chod? Hey cheers! I'm hoping the answer is - nobody can resist! Really would like to minimise the car boot sale stuff this summer, and - weird as it sounds - I much prefer knowing where all these lumps of my once mighty* collection are ending up. *for 'mighty', read 'unfocused, sprawling, chaotic and ultimately ungovernable' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quicksilver Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 If no one else wants them I'll take all those 1/80 trucks. Don't want to be greedy so I'll let others have a chance first though. Datsuncog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsuncog Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 Two more Tesco sets - this time with articulated Mercedes transporters in the wrong scale. ***SOLD!!!*** Set 1 Cars are: Mercedes S-class (red) Mercedes ML420 (blue) Jaguar S-Type (silver) Porsche 911S (?) (yellow) Set 2: Toyota Rav4 (green) Mitsubishi Evo (red) BMW 5-series (white) Saab 9-3 (yellow) Say £10 for each set posted, and both for £18 (with further bulk discount applicable, obvs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsuncog Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 ***SOLD!!!*** Another playset of the same stripe, but boxed as Chad Valley - which I believe to be the old Woolworths own-brand name. Models in here are: Mercedes C-class (I think - silver) New Mini (yellow) New Beetle (red) Volvo V70 (green) Again, £10 posted for this one too. Interestingly, there were four differently configured sets to collect, it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsuncog Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 Well, that just about brings the Cararama to a close for now - though I think there are more lurking which I plucked from the collection and dumped in the For Sale box that I may not have yet photographed - will have another look tonight. There seem to be a fair few more in the box than there are pics in the folder, is all I'll say. Here's a few more waifs and strays in approx. 1/72, then: **** SOLD*** Ford Mustang Not sure of the maker, think it's something like 'Road Eagle' or summat. £1.50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
