I found all of these at the local car boot sale on sunday, everything I only paid between 10 and 50p for! My buys of the day had to be the Hotwheels Redline Jet Threat, the Matchbox Superkings Ford D Series Pepsi truck with pallets and bottles and the Lesney Commer Ice Cream Van :)

I got some more cars for me to turn into bangers and a Dinky Ford Escort which I'm now restoring

everyone thinks that Miura is Playart! It's a Zylmex :rolleyes: Shame it isn't a Playart, though

And yes, that BMW is nice, I've never seen one before :)

Mookie, it's those wheels! I am not used to seeing Zylmex with such good quality wheels.

Which is now the pink "TOPLESS" banger. :thumbsup:

He's also the man behind the Generic Lee Camry as well- both by sending me the car and picking the design. :thumbsup:

What is the Blue car that looks like a Moon car in front of the Tank.
Is it for trade?
That is a nice looking car.
Let me know what you would like for it?

Thats a superfast Cosmobile, it had a very bad rear wheel (looked like someone attacked it with a pair of pliers!) but I needed the plastic chassis part for a custom I'm making - I can send you the hulk of it, if you want :thumbsup: for a custom

Nice finds! I always like to dig through the boxes of old toy cars. One time I was digging thru a basket full of cars at a flea market and was finding too many interesting cars,so I simply asked how much for the whole basket?

yeah, thats what I do if there are too many good ones to buy singly, I remember buying a box full of lesney, corgi juniors and kingsize matchbox for £6 at one time :)

Love the finds! It's neat to know that toy cars is not just a North American sickness!
