Datsuncog's Heaps: Sept 2023 - Another Year's T-Met Exemption Certificate...

[Datsuncog]

Long shot, and it never occurred to me until now because I saw a 19 mentioned...

 

Renault 25? Preferably Mk I.

Hmmm... I have (or had) a couple of Majorette Mk1 R25s, roughly 1/72 scale - can't recall off the top of my head whether I sold them last year, though! Not in 1/43 scale, sadly, so not sure if they'd interest you.

 

I do have a facelifted Safrane by Vitesse in 1/43, but it's not in the Sale tub!

[sierraman]

Shitloads, dude. Absolutely shitloads of the stuff. Is it Superkings or Superfast size you're most into? I'll try and dig out some pics tomorrow for you!

Either!

Not too fussy about scale to be honest.

 

Majorette stuff used to be my mainstay when I was a kid. Nice that they still seem to do a lot of "normal" cars, hence ending up with a small fleet of French stuff recently from Morrison's where there was a stock at the end of an aisle.

 

 

So the small one would be just fine.

[Datsuncog]

^^^ Good stuff - I shall take a looksie tomorrow or Monday and see if they're still there - had a dark red one and a sort of metallic gunmetal one, so fingers crossed...

[Tadhg Tiogar]

Presumably nothing CX or Ro80-shaped? I'm sort of looking out for the Minichamps 1/18 Ro80....

[Datsuncog]

Nope sorry - looking out for a 1/43 CX myself, and nearly all my 1/18 stuff was sold on back in 2010.. love the detail, but can't justify the space required!

[Datsuncog]

Rightyho... quite a busy old weekend just past; mostly spent painting doors and architraves (boooo) but also having a bash at assisting with a stereo fit in the deeply sexy Cortina Mk 3 belonging to the equally sexy AdamMcC of this parish (kind of yaaaay, but also boooo to whichever previous owner filled the car with dozens of redundant wires and connectors, including flipping domestic cable).

 

 

 

Subaru has been mostly behaving itself, which of course hasn't stopped me from imagining all manner of maladies and odd noises while out and about. But nothing that's come to anything.

 

 

While trying to blast all the birdshit off it down at the local self-serve jetwash the other week, a little friend attempted to join it in the spray room... But was dissuaded.

 

 

A very tidy low-mile CF Dormobile that I've seen in passing before; had a good chat with the owner. He owns a variety of interesting pre-war classics and 60s sportscars, as it happens.

 

 

 

Told him about this place, obviously, though didn't catch his name.

 

As an additional update, the Subaru is booked into a garage on Thursday morning to get its saggy arse dealt with. I'd asked for a quote for the job and the garage said they didn't really know as they've never changed a set of rear springs on a Forester before - so who knows how this one will go...

 

 

Fingers and toes crossed that they don't find a whole world of pain while hoking underneath.

[Datsuncog]

But, it's filthy dirty diecast I'm guessing you lot are all grubbing around for at the minute, so here goes...

 

 

(Following pics are... not brilliant, so apologies in advance.)

[Datsuncog]

****SOLDED**** I believe Egg was interested in 1950s Lesney Matchbox?

 

 

This is the sum total of the remains, I'm afraid - and even then, these may be early 60s?

 

Ah well. £1 each/ £2.50 the lot? Posted.

[Datsuncog]

Larger Matchbox for Sierraman?

 

 

EDIT: Audi Quattro SOLD! Sierra Cosworth SOLD! Range Rover SOLD! Caravan SOLD!!!

 

I had so many more, but it appears that a large box of 1980s MB/Corgi made its way into my mum's classroom, and remained there when she retired a coupla years ago... that'll teach me to leave stuff in my parents' attic for decades at a stretch.

 

£2 each, posted, or £18 for the whole lot  £12 posted for the remaining models in this picture?

 

(Yes, that's a stray Majorette '57 Chevy at the back right)

[Datsuncog]

****ALL SOLD!!!****  Smaller Matchbox for Sierraman... yaaargh. Much assortment.

 

 

Will hoick these out and take individual pics if you prefer! Laser wheels/Connectables in there, plus Superfast/1980s stuff. Ranging from Ex+ to scrap; most are around the playworn mark. I'm sure there's about 100 or so in there.

 

50p each, or less, or if you prefer - the entire lucky box for £25 posted.

 

 

Prices for all listings are very much negotiable.

 

I am just plucking random numbers out of the air.

**** SOLDSOLDSOLDSOLDSOLD**** Random Siku/Efsi/Polistil/Novacar...

 

 

£1.50 posted each. £12 posted for the whole box. Can provide better pics if required!

[Datsuncog]

Larger, loose Corgi stuff. (Boxed to follow)

 

EDIT: ALLSOLD!!!

 

Again, bit of a grab bag . Some very nice and quite sought after (Prelude), others slightly rattier.

 

Nothing more than £5 each posted - let me know if there's anything takes your fancy and I'll get you a price.

 

£30 takes the whole lot, posted (that Angus fire tender's a heavy bugger).

[Datsuncog]

Boxed Corgi

 

^^^ ***ALL SOLD!!!***

 

Most have been fucked with to a greater or lesser extent (silver pen 'detailing', added numberplates etc. - but hopefully nothing irrevocable)

 

£6 each, posted.

 

EDIT: Kojak Buick has a torn box corner, which is why I bought it cheap from TK Maxx.

[Datsuncog]

**** MOAR to follow later...****

 

Corgi - prices variable here!

 

^^^ EDIT: ALL SOLD!

 

Dinky - again, these are kinda project vehicles, and priced accordingly at a few quid a pop.

 

^^^EDIT: ALL SOLD!!!

 

Various random bits and pieces from who-knows-where:

 

^^^ EDIT: ALL SOLD!!

 

Dinky R16; Budgie Rolls Royce Silver Cloud; Spot-On Morris 1100.

 

EDIT: ALL SOLD!!!

 

Let me know if anything here takes your fancy, sure - comment or PM. I'd like to think I'm being realistic about the values of these.

[sierraman]

Phwoaaar!!!

 

Interested in the smaller matchboxes, any more pics? Sorry to be a pain!

 

Do you have s price in mind for the white and red thing about 3 pics back. Think its by corgi iirc

[bramz7]

I shall take the random ERTL/SIKU Novacar lot, and what looks like a Marbella in another photo?

 

And the laser wheels matchbox Merc (?) in the box?

[Datsuncog]

The Matchbox 1/75 was the box I didn't manage to photograph individually, as [loads] - but I'll whip the camera out later!

 

Is it the red and white Matchbox Dinky Chevrolet Bel Air you mean?

 

 

It's missing a headlight but otherwise in quite decent nick - £2.50?

 

EDIT: or was it either of these ones? More red and white things than I first thought!

 

 

Corgi Riot Police Quad Tractor

 

 

Dinky Mk2 Cortina

[Datsuncog]

I shall take the random ERTL/SIKU Novacar lot, and what looks like a Marbella in another photo?

 

And the laser wheels matchbox Merc (?) in the box?

 

Random Siku etc lot is YOURS.

 

Bburago Fiat Panda is also yours for £1 if you fancy it! Destickered and minor tendency for number plate/thing that holds the plastic base to metal body to come loose, but otherwise a nice little thing.

 

 

I'd promised Sierraman dibs on the 80s Matchbox (since he asked) - but if he's not interested in the Laser Wheels Merc after I've posted the snap later tonight, then it's yours also!

[bramz7]

Oh yeah it's a Panda! My bad...

 

£1 seems perfectly reasonable to me. Paypal okay?

[Datsuncog]

^^^ PayPal's grand - £13 the lot, sir? Will PM you!

[Datsuncog]

**** ALL MAJORETTE SOLD**** Did we also have some Majorette ticklers in the house, or was that my imagination?

 

 

Full pics can be provided of the entire contents, but there's a fair few in here. Probably about the £1 - £2 mark depending on condition, or snaffle the whole lot as a mystery box for £30 (again, I'd imagine Royal Mail might be the main winner here, but hey - these need gone).

 

EDIT: Bramz7 - the two you'd requested yesterday are safely in your box, never worry!

[Datsuncog]

****ALL CORGI SOLD!!!**** Corgi.

 

So many Corgi. Also a few Husky in there too. A whole big shoebox filled to the top.

 

 

Full pics can be provided... as with the Matchbox, 50p - £1 each (but I'd sooner not post them all out singly, for reasons you'll understand).

 

Coastguard set is £15 posted.

 

Whole entire lot for £50 posted (inc. Coastguard set)

[Datsuncog]

*** ALL HOT WHEELS NOW SOLD!!!*** Hot Wheels fans?

 

 

 

^^^^ ****Flying Customs and all carded and loose mainlines sold!!****

 

Interest/offers?

 

Some of the boxed ones have been opened. Many have not, though.

[sierraman]

I've got the laser wheels merc already.

 

Pen me in for the corgi riot control unit. PM us and I'll send you the money.

[Datsuncog]

^^^ Good stuff! Will send you a PM.

[Split_Pin]

Tim, you are a bad sort. Posting up all these tempting things, especially Majorettes.

[Datsuncog]

^^^ I know, I'm a wrong'un. And just before Shitefest and all...

[andy18s]

Any more pics on the 2 reds bottom right?

And I'll take the Range Rover,Sierra and Audi in the second pic please
