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

[The_Equalizer]

All sounds good to me. To get the ball rolling, how about the Wednesday 8th August at 7pm? Anyone good at posting photos, just to prove that it's a rival to Cannock auctions?

[Datsuncog]

^^^ Sounds like a plan... I'll get that in the diary!

Might fire up a new thread for the attention of Norn Iron shiters - just to make it a bit more visible for all-comers.

Don't mind taking some pics either, as I can just imagine the kind of stuff going through...

A new thread would no doubt be a sensible idea. I haven't seen they_all_do_that_sir on here for a while, but then again I'm a bit of a newbie.

 

You'll be impressed at the level of 'ropeyness' of some of the cars. There's normally one or two things that really catch my eye. A friend bought a 5 series BMW there once for £800. Thankfully he's a bit of a whizz on the electronics side of things as there was work to do. Wasn't a bad car after that.

Cheers so much for that, The_Equaliser - hoping we might get a decent turnout!

You lads need to come over for a Cannock auctions DETHBURGA.

Full catering writeup will be provided!

That pic fair yanks a bit of nostalgia, mind - layout looks just like Carryduff Auctions. In fact, that kid in the red and grey tracksuit looks like a younger version of myself - down with Uncle Ralph to buy yet another shagged £100 Cortina for his somewhat haphazard plumbing business. 

Ah, memories.

[Datsuncog]

Fuxsake... I might have known there would be more. Sorry for more diecast content if you're really only here for the 1:1 cars. I will shut up about all these minishites and get back to the Subaru within the next week, I promise.

To follow are a few models that got buried in a box (under more boxes) and hence unphotographed earlier; plus one or two more Vanguards and Cararama that after a long, cool look through my 'keep' boxes, I reckon I'll never get as excited about displaying as they deserve - and so pastures new seems the only fair way forward.

Prices, as ever, include postage at 2nd Class rate, to a UK address of your choice. Worldwide shipping... well, I'm sure we can come to some arrangement.

These will all be going down to the Bangor Abbey Car Boot Sale this Saturday, so be quick and sing out if anything takes your fancy!

Guisaval Renault Espace Mk1 'Urgencias'

Bit of an oddity, probably brought back from Majorca a long time ago. Few slight marks here and there, but should clean up well.

£4 posted!

[Split_Pin]

*wrings hands*

[Datsuncog]

***SOLDSOLDSOLD!!!*** Corgi Renault 5 TS, blue (with Alpine stickers?)

Another one I remember getting c.1990 when McCulloughs unearthed a load of old Mettoy yellow-boxed Corgis from the depths of their store room. They seemed like something from another era to my excited 10-year old self.

They crazy thing is that were probably only about six years old, at that time, but I thought they were VERY old.

I'm trying to think whether I could even recognise a model from 2012 as being 'old' now. Probably not.

£5 posted/£2 in with summat else.

[Datsuncog]

***SOLD!!!*** Polistil Alfa Romeo Alfetta Coupe

Somewhat knackered, I fear.

£3 posted/£0.50 lumped in with something else!

[Datsuncog]

***SOLD!!!*** Solido Lancia Lybra

 

The eagle-eyed amongst you may have spotted that this is an improved version of the same casting I already have listed as a Majorette. Much more detailed, and comes in a tin and all.

£7 posted/ £4 in with another Thing!

[Datsuncog]

***SOLD!!!*** Vitesse DeLorean DMC-12 (1/43)

Fairly sought-after, this one - online prices seem to range between £35-£50 for this version.

Super-special shiter price: £25 posted.

[Datsuncog]

***SOLD!!!*** Cararama Ford Consul Cortina (Mk1)

Not a badly proportioned model; decent detail and all but I seem to have a lot of Cortinas, soooo...

£7 posted/£4 in with something else!

[Datsuncog]

***ROFFLED!*** Vanguards VA03811 - Vauxhall Victor F, Empress Blue

Annoyingly (and perplexingly, as I don't remember taking this one out of the box) there appears to be a chip out of the roof.

Good basis for a repaint, then?

£8 posted/ £5 with other models.

[mercedade]

Ooooh! Can I have the DeLorean please?

[mercedade]

(that was a scary post to write, because I know that I'll now start looking back over the still-availables from earlier and thinking...well....why not?)

[Datsuncog]

Vanguards VA08710 - Vauxhall Vive HB GT, Goodwood Green Starmist

Guaranteed to be less dusty and more in-focus in real life.

£15!

Sure thing! I'll get that set aside for you... and I'll post up a revised list with fresh links to the new pics once these are done (only a few to go).

Thanks!

[Datsuncog]

***SOLD!!*** Vanguards VA06807 - Hillman Minx IIIA; charcoal grey/powder blue

Really nice model; just feeling a bit torn on this one. I always thought this era of Minx a bit frumpy; I'd gladly display an Arrow range Minx, but just think this one looks out of place with the rest of my collection...

£15 posted!

[Datsuncog]

Moving on to the smaller stuff now - more Cararama

***SOLD!!!*** Another twin pack - this time a Lotus Elise and an Aston Martin DB7

Should probably have taken these out of the box... but you get the general idea. Really nice models; I'm just not a sports car lover at heart, sadly.

£5 posted/ £2.00 in with something else.

[Datsuncog]

***SOLD!!!*** Cararama 1/72 VW T2 Samba

£4.50 posted/£1.50 combined with more stuff!

[Datsuncog]

***SOLD!*** Cararama Peugeot 206CC with hood up - worrying green

£4.50 posted/£1.50 in with another model or two.

[mercedade]

...And the T2 Samba please...

 

Oh god.

 

It's happening

[Datsuncog]

***SOLD!*** Cararama Subaru Impreza WRC 'bugeye' - lairy yellow

It's just too damn yellow for me. Sorry.

£4.50 solo/£1.50 with company.

Sorry, dude. I know. My complicity here is beyond question.

£5 posted/ £2 in with friends!

[Datsuncog]

And the last one...

***SOLD!!!*** A Revell plastic snap-together model of a Chevrolet Camaro SS

Could probably look pretty good with a lick of paint from someone who knows what they're doing... but that person is not me.

I did snap it together, then unsnapped it again (except the wheel hubs, that wouldn't come away from the tyres again).

£3 posted/£free with owt else.

Still - this has pretty much been pulled together as a tick-inventory to print off for Saturday, as much as anything else - so nobody go feeling obliged to buy a shit-ton of stuff!

Thank you, though, for the latest purchases! Less to cart down the road, anyway...

[mercedade]

Can I have the snappy Camaro please? Seems rude not to
