The earliest version of th Impy VW Ambulance with opening hood (!), and the latest Flyers version of the VW Minibus.

A bunch of loose cars, the Fiat 2300, Chrysler Imperial, the beloved Toyota 2000GT and the Ford Zodiac.

Very nice especially those VW buses in less common colors than the most usual blue separate tyre issue. Not so many folks collect these so prices can be quite reasonable at toyfairs to get them shifted - the scale also being a bit bigger than 1/64 also makes them less attractive to mainstream small scale collectors.I saw some of these on the playground as a child but never actually bought any myself, Corgi and Matchbox got almost all of my money in those days....

You know I still don't have the blue version of the VW Bus!
And prices are going up in Europe, I'm after the Polizei version of the Mercedes Benz sedan which went for E 92,- on ofas recently...

Cool..I have a few Impys in my collection, incl. the Fiat 2300 and Ford Taunus..pretty hard to find in the US.

I also have a couple of larger (about 1:43rd) older Lone Star Roadmasters--a dark green '58 Imperial and a Rolls Royce.
