Ok, update on that. I just dug out the Berlinetta from my son's toy box and it has the thin SF wheels. So I guess that's a no no still, while I was there I dug out a hole bunch more of my other toys. Should be fun working through them tonight. :)
Just make sure you don't stay up later than bedtime! :lol:

Not of the Lambo but you've asked so here are a few I've stolen back from my son and liberated from my dad's collection. Some in mint condition, many are not.

Being a bit of a beginner spotting wise, If anyone sees anything I should know about or would like a few more pics of specific cars, please let me know. I'll be greatly appreciated.

Lesney: Many regular and some SF. Interestingly, can you spot the 2 GPW wheels and name them? A clue is one was repainted long ago.

Next up is Corgi, Technically the wrong board I know but still. Here they are. My favourites are the F1 car and the cadillac.

and lastly is the odds & sods. We have Husky and and Tuf Tots at the front, Dinky toys (+1 Crescent) in the middle and finally, at the back is a Motor Max BMW (Sealed in box), Majorite Cattle trailer and a Maisto Porsche 959.

Hello McCarthyMR

Can you look at the car i have highlighted. It could potentialy be worth big bucks if it has Superfast wheels on it. I have included an image of my SF version so you can identify the wheel type i am talking about.

Hey Motorman,

I wish it was but I'm afraid this is the wired wheel version as per the pics below. :(

I wouldn't be down heartened!

This is one of my favourite Matchbox models and your RW variant still excites me . :D

Does your version have silver trim on the front grill?....it's hard to see on the images you have posted.

Yes it does. Front grill only though. FYI: Same colour, this is without the flash. See below:

Thanks for clearing that up. Looks like a nice example of a wire wheeled RW#75 :D

Thanks you sir, It's one of my favourites too. I've found a lot of my old cars but I'm still missing quite a few. as an example, I have 2 Mini Ha-Ha's. 1 I found as it was with my main bunch of cars I'd passed over to my son. Nothing special or unusual about it.

The other one though, I hid away years ago (and not seen it since). The reason was I believed it to be a miss-cast. The Blue back window was half open as it was factory fitted with a cut-away diagonally across. I just wish I could find it as I'm certain some of my other missing cars will turn up as well. :)
