Re: Matchbox 62 Mercury Cougar in CREAM

great model Antoine and the star of that Vectis sale.
I have met Philippe many times and have seen his collection.

This was only a part of his enormous collection of modelcars.

He was very happy with the sale.

Re: Corgi Ephemera

looks to be a very nice book.
At Sandown they would probably have a stall where you could more see it in depth.

Re: slip of paper in the box

Very nice to have this paper with the model.

I once bought a Models of Yesteryear Y11-1 Aveling and it had a similar size paper inside to join the Matchbox Club.

Re: Vectis

I followed this auction live and made 16 bids but won only 1. This certainly was one of the best regular wheel collections I saw in person. I made a call to Philippe after the sale. He was very happy and was amazed about the price realized for the Mercury. Lots of items sold over the high estimate. ...

Re: Lledo.

nice magazines to have !

I remmeter it was not well received that Ray went from a Matchbox magazine to a Lledo magazine.
All had to do with his connection with Jack Odell and probably he also want to write about a UK made product.

Re: Matchbox Originals.

I'm wondering if they based the models on what castings they could find or source at that time? If they did, then they weren't trying very hard! A quick search on Ebay would have turned up multiple example of every single a-series model. eBay didn't exist in 1988 when the 1st ORIGINALS came out. Re...
