Summer is just about over here now that we have just had our first toyfair after a 4 month summer break -with 6 fairs with about 150 tables in the September-May period. Everything in the first photo cost me an even $100 at current exchange rates, and there are a few gems I am delighted to have found:) blessed again no thanks to ebay ;)

What really amazes me is that the most htf car in the whole bunch was passed over by me at the last fair in May,and ignored by hundreds of other collectors back in May and again for the first 2 hours today:freak:its the tan seats Zodiac convertible :wave:
But I do have a feeble excuse -it was in the same Meccano sized box of c.20 early regular wheels as my green 27c Caddy, and after finding this in May and the yellow 31b in that same box I was too focused on the Caddy to look hard at the rest......but i did today ,with a big grin of pleasure picking up that tan seats Zodiac which had patiently waited 4 months to be re-united with the Caddy & Ford.I couldnt see anything special left in the box this time after looking hard,and this trio most likely came from the same childhood collection as their only diecast were 2 boxes of about 20 each early regular wheels
