The Simca is well worn and daubed with nail varnish or something, but still my favourite!

Is the Wedge 1/43 scale?

luvvly... I had (possibly still do) some of those cars. I have a metro like that one but in red, a Sierra 2.3 Ghia of the same scale, a Match box Mk1 Capri and a 'Bauer Miller' convertible BMW 325i among others...

[bassman77]

I think I had all those cars in my yoof!, but alas I smashed em all up .... like you do .Love the Simca if my memory is correct that one is made by Majorette, they did quite a few oddball euroshite toy cars.

I've got or had all of the models you've shown in the photos apart from the Metro but had that in a larger scale also by Corgi, till I painted it all over in Humbrol bright yellow & eventually broke it up as a 'scrap car'!

Toy cars are another indicator of how things changed in the 1980s. Up till then toy cars were mostly everyday cars but since then they have been mostly supercars.
