Now that I have added my past weekend´s finds to my existing collection I now have 16 different items from the range that ceased production back in the 1970s.They are 1/66 scale,all have suspnsion,chrome hubcaps,opening doors with either red or black seats.Most were bargains or very cheap,and all found locally.And real factory standard colours too!
These 3 ,particularly the Opel Commodore,are my favourites

I was lucky to score 3 identical VW vans from market trader last weekend and the 2 least perfect are on the bay this week,and the third will stay with me:) This slightly smaller scale suits my 1/76 bus collection so these cars appear in the bus garage carpark whereas most Lesneys/Huskys/Juniors/Playarts are too big, although the Lesney 25 Bedford van fits well with buses........
