AJR: scratch built? The 6 wheeler looks interesting.

Here’s my land rover and security van from ‘The Italian Job’.

Nice MSV and candy mini - I thought it was from ‘The Prisoner’ for a second.

My collection is definitely used as I didn’t want* mint models but I am stuck on displaying them. I’m currently building up the vehicles from The Italian Job including minis from a company called Greenlight and a code 3 security van I made from a matchbox tv repair van number 62. *couldn’t afford......

I’ve just picked up a k-23 Mercury commuter police car with blue windows. Do that’s 3 and counting....

Ghosthunter.

You posted some very interesting and detailed information - thank you!

The only variation I have come across is the colour of the plastic that holds the wheels - almost always black, but I have a brown plastic based one.

A concrete example of what can be found out there. Excellent find.

At least others might be able to contribute! Bah, it would have to be a superfast Soopa Coopa!

I agree. I’ve just bought one.
