Picked these up last week, friend of mine got them from cleaning out his grandmothers attic. I do mostly white lightnings but these looked interesting.
But i know nothing about them.

I like the station wagon.They look to be in good shape.

Ace if you find out what the bug is worth I may be intersted in a trade it looks very nice and I have been starting to pick up bugs for one of my sons. LMK, David

Ya I like the station wagon too.

:thumbsup: ---Midnightrun--- :wave:

Try the question on the Vintage board here on HT, it gets quite a few old MB collectors

The wagon is a Ford product.

Nice stuff. Is it 1/64 scale or 1/72? I like the Torino fastback

Great cars. I like the wagon and the white Torino - sharp!

The Matchbox date from the early-to-mid 60s and look to be in nice condition, although the #25 Volkswagen Sedan appears to have overpainted headlamps.

Does the Budgie Packard convertible have an original windscreen, or is that a replacement? That is a very nice toy. Budgie made a Plymouth Fury - with the big tail fins - as well, in its extensive line of 60s toys.

The wagon is a Ford product.

A '59 "Country Squire" :)

only a guess as like i said they were found in his grandmothers attic
i would think all original stuff on them

the bottom of the packard says
packard convertible made in england No 14 is that a MB?

the bug says
volkswagen sedan made in england No 8 is that a MB?

the wagon says
american ford station wagon made in england by lesney looks like No 31
so this must be older MB

mercedes says
mercedes benz 220 s.e. ? made in england by lesney No 53
not mint but still decent

Found the VW appears to be budgie

There were a few others in various condition all with out painted headlights. It appears those were added at some point.

Budgie Miniature #14, 1954 Packard Convertible; issued 1957 to 1970 w/metal, gray plastic, and black plastic wheels.
Looks to be in mint condition; the plastic windscreen has a tendancy to bend or disappear...



the bug says

Budgie Miniature #8, Volkswagen 1200, issued 1956 to 1970 w/metal, gray plastic, or black plastic wheels. Also looks in mint condition as the painted headlights are normal; you'll usually see red trim on the rear lights as well.

Sorry but the bug is definitely a Budgie. Check out how the front bumper differs as it's part of the base on the Budgie rather than part of the body as on the MBX...
