Found (among a lot of other things) by a friend in the attic of his late grandfather:




A 1935 Renault YF or ZY (fr)? For what it's worth, 4768 RN6 was a registration made in the Seine department (i.e. Paris) in 1945 (fr).

A few new movie cars (1/43th)

And also a curiosity, the Saab Lancia 600 :

I've got that silver one by Premium X as well! There's also a brown 600 from an Atlas Editions series of 29 models branded for the SAAB Car Museum in Trollhättan - no maker identified, although I think may be Mondo Motors as it's almost identical to their budget Delta model. Slightly less detail than the silver Px but still a good model and a nice colour which looks better in the metal than my pictures.

Tomica JP Tour Vehicle

nice! The one on the right seems more like the real one

Here is an article: This McLaren 600LT Costs Just $85, But There’s A Catch

The link does not work, probably because of the quote in the text that the forum converts:

Discounted Peugeot 505 Turbo models if anyone's interested at https://www.voxxi9.com -now €59 reduced from €99. Too expensive to be called bargains, but beautifully made in resin and the paintwork is gorgeous, only 180 produced in blue and 120 in silver. I prefer the blue, but that's just personal taste.

If anyone wants a bargain Jaguar E-Type, look at https://rimmerbros.com/ItemList--Jaguar-Die-Cast-Models-Kits--m-18358 for the 3 remaining Century Dragon colours. These are resin promotionals made for Jaguar dealers and normally sell for £100 to £120, but are knocked down here to £20 each, and are the best quality E-Type models I have ever seen.

missing my JP Explorer.. "sisterosaurus" crashed it
( but got a pair of Matchbox ones to fill its absence )


bought a Matchbox F-150 today. Do someone at matchbox has access to internet or have a clue about Ford trucks ? its not the first time they mess them up ( i have that one too, with the corrected F350 )

here is what i mean

After what seemed like forever, I finally bought some model cars from the flea market today.
A set of four 4x4s by Anson/Del Prado, all very filigrane and nicely detailed, all the way down to the scripts on the tires:

a UN93 Ford Expedition
a slightly misproportioned UW137 Ford Excursion (with opening barn doors and hatch!)
a 2002 Cadillac Escalade
and a 1993 Jeep Cherokee (called Grand Cherokee on the bottom )

There was also a 1995-97 Chevrolet Blazer and a GMT400 Suburban on offer, but those looked rather cheap so I didn't buy them. Nowadays I only buy models of plain cars that one wouldn't normally see as toys, or highly detailed models of common models.

if your Escalade is in that scale, watch out for the hood, it breaks after a few openings ( i have an Escalade, an Excursion and a Navigator )

Awesome. Even the smallest details look nice.

What scale are they ?

1:43.

Story of developing the Corgi Bond DB5 and some of their other 1960s film cars

"When Corgi struck gold: the story behind the greatest toy ever"

Did anyone else discover the trick at the time to get the baddie to fly further from the ejector seat by with the roof open, pressing the seat back down, then pressing the button?? It flew for millions of miles .....

I've got a lot left over, and one of them is this one-door Corgi microcar.

Does anybody know what it is?

Here's where the door is. I wish I could upload images from IMCDb myself and add them here.

It's the Minissima, née Townscar.
