Re: 32B Jaguar E Type

This is absolutely one of my favorite models and one of the very first in my collection at the young age of 7. I spent a long time finding one in bronze color (photo attached). The clear window has grey tires and the green window has black tires. I would trade all for the real version in your photo!...

Re: 9D Boat and Trailer variation question

The genuine cream-tan interiors on these boats do exist. I wonder if it makes sense to add this version as a variation much like the 14C Bedford Lomas Ambulance distinguishes between the interiors? It does. Definitely. Thanks Idris. I agree. If Nick would like to add the variation I will be glad to...

Re: Ghosthunter collects these...

Ghosty, I thought I had a pretty good collection of yesteryear variations. I had no idea how many variations are available (80 for one model!!). Wish I could tap into your knowledge base. What is your go to guide? Cheers, Macdonald

Re: Spot the gems or - why did they pay that much?

I can't speak to any gems in the collection except to say I don't see any special Regular Wheels. If the buyer intends to re-sell the models they could probably make a profit as they were bought at just over 2 GBP apiece. Especially true if they are resold individually. Macdonald

Re: 9D Boat and Trailer variation question

If we knew the full 'Time-Line' of this boat, I would not be surprised to find out that a different mix of plastic has been used for the mouldings, as in everyday life we have stuff that tends to discolour rather quickly when left exposed out of their containers and to me the Creamy-Tan hulls have ...
