Mini-Ha-Ha #14 (

Post by McCarthyMR »

Had this Mini as long as I can remember. I always knew the back window wasn't right and I put it away as a teenager because of it

It's not in perfect condition as I did play with it a lot before hiding it one day about 20yrs ago only to be found this evening by my mum...

Still, here it is:

Hello McCarthyMR, what on earth were you doing all those years ago playing with your "Matchbox" models, did nobody tell you that they must be stored away for 30 years and only brought out when you need the money and can sell them on 'Fleabay', Dear, O-dear, O-dear.

BTW, unusual moulding error on the rear window, I don't know anybody who specifically collects these types of 'Factory Error' models but you never know, its surprising what is collectible these days...

Ghosty.

HA HA, (Pun intended)

Nope, I missed that lesson in the collecting game until I was nearly an adult. Which is about the time I decided to hide some of my toys away like time capsules..

So pleased when I saw this one tonight, I can tell you. I've only been able to describe it for the last 15yrs. :P
