I'd be pretty emotional at being presented with a large chunk of childhood which I assumed had been lost forever. What a result!

NEC Corgi Escort 35 van is an interesting one. Royal wedding Metro lasted longer than the marriage too! 

I'm of mid 70's vintage- I reckon you must be something similar looking at your haul...

Some great stuff there, Dinky Plymouth Gran Fury police car and Corgi Caprice are versions I haven't tracked down yet, as is the Dinky Princess.

At least the repainted Corgi Mazda B1600 camper was the more common red one, rather than the white.

Not very clued up on fire engines - what's the big one at the back?

The big Bburago Rancho is very rare in that colour, most were green like the one I have.

I'm guessing you are about my age, early 40s.

The big Dinky Capri is also a nice model, I guess that would have been handed down as its earlier. I have it and it weighs about nine tons.

I actually think the Capri is 1974-1976 so it wasn’t handed down!  I later into the 40s sadly 😂

Probably mentioned it before but I was really hoping the Rancho would resurface when we were packing up ready for a house move this time last year. No such luck, although I did find a Burago BMW 635 I'd forgotten having.
