Are you bring the Rolls Kev, the only time I've seen it was in a lay-by with you asleep in the driver's seat? I thought it better not to stop!

I'll be at the NEC on the 20th (this Sunday coming). I've quite a bit of new stock which I've accumulated over the summer making its first outing. In fact, I've forgotten quite what I've got, so it will be as much a surprise to me when I set up!

I didn't get anything either. Pete - I had one of those chocolate Easter eggs with a Matchbox car as a child. I still have the Lotus Super Seven (pre-Streakers version), so shall have to dig it out and compare castings.

But you did also get a first look at my blue #25 Cortina, with regular wheels. It will be more than fiver, but not actually sure how much more at this point!
