Re: Fingers crossed it’s genuine

Hello all, glad to see some activity back in the forum. I've missed the interaction, and pictures, not that I'm a huge contributor. The Miura was the one that caught my attention, it's a little more play worn than I would like but you get what you pay for. There are some really good examples in here...

Fingers crossed it’s genuine

They all look in very good nick, but one in particular caught my eye. Ironically they were advertised as late 60’s hot wheels lot despite being in a Matchbox case. More pics shortly as the seller is less than a KM away.....

Re: Some advice regarding Dinky toys

Thanks for the photos!

I'm quietly contemplating what appendage, or which if more than one was required, I would give up to have these in my collection.

Lovely, lovely models.

Cheers
Dave

Re: I've been offered some Dinky models.

Hi I’d pass on those prices in NZ$, US$ Would be a supreme rip off. Availability of Dinky NZ and US is comparable, prices in the UK are likely to be even cheaper due to more supply. The BBC van has a missing cameraman as well as the Tyres. The aerial goes in the hole down the back. The sweeper is Fr...

Re: RSSierra's Dinky Additions

After a bit of research: The Short Mayo Composite, a piggyback long-range seaplane combination ,remains one of the most innovative concepts in aviation history. So innovative,in fact,that seven decades ago it demonstrated the potential for long-haul aviation. Engineered by Robert Mayo, the concept w...

Re: Another How to Clean Question

Agreed, erasers are surprisingly effective in cleaning decades of dust, dirt and finger oil off old cardboard.

Re: RSSierra's Dinky Additions

Scott Agreed Scott, just need to scrape together the likely $2k purchase price and have you on spotter duty there in Canada. As with most “pinnacle” models I’m un...
