Ghosty.
thats one of 3 displays housing my 600+ 1-75 collection divided logically into pre 1965,post 1970 and this one above here. I actually need to stop buying more,there arent so many significant variations still needed for 1966-69 thankfully ........
I see precious things. Wow matthias there are some rare models in that last cabinet including one of my all time wants. The blue interior Javelin. Superb

It is such a shame that so few collectors have in their possession, a blue interior Javelin. We mere mortals can only aspire to such a model as I understand once you have got one, it is written in the Centuries old Matchbox bible (very few of those around a swell!), that once one passes into the hands of Man, he shall not be able to let go without sundry Spirits and untold dangers cursing said Man to a lifetime of unrest.
I admire the brave Men who have such a model, but if the legend it true, I would rather not witness the true horrors that will unfold, when it passes over to a new owner.

Middle right are mostly upgrades of the 35 RW models I owned before age 9
An stunning & exciting display Mr Mick! I can imagine your thrill with seeing these displays when u get up every morning which most of us could dream about.
Very nice indeed!

One cannot do much with all the monies in this world but can do much more if he strives toward contentment.

Thankyou - that display is actually as close to our bed as any display could be,less than a metre away - lucky my wife doesnt mind but then its only a 3 room apartment not a house and the cars are hidden from daylight inside!
