I don't collect toys from after 1970 - but there are exeptions :rolleyes:

I can't pass up on the series of 1:36 Formula 1 cars that Corgi made in the 70's.
I don't "hunt them down" but when they comes my way :woohoo: and I'll never part with them.

However I hate the ugly windowboxes they came in, this is the only part of my collection where I don't display the boxes :mad:

The "Duckhams Giftset" is a january buying.

The black one looks like Danny Ongias' Indy car from the late 70's. I always dug the "Flyin Hawaiian"

Were there any Indy John Player Special Lotuses? It is indeed a superb model beautifully made and as well as being sold individually it also came on a trailer pulled by this Lotus Elite - I hope you get one this year Karl :thumbsup:

The blue car on the trailer reminds me of the Johnny Lightning Special....
