New in my collection !
Re: New in my collection !
That's a great selection of items! I know what you mean about the space issue (as do most collectors!), and getting rid of those items you no longer like as much is a good way to go. The only possible down-side is that you might change your mind after selling them on!

Money well spent Mr Mick. Great additions to your collection.

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

Re: New in my collection !
The star model for me out of all those fine examples is the 'SPOT-ON' Vauxhall 'PA Cresta, looks to be a super clean example, very nice.

Re: New in my collection !
Both PA Crestas are near mint although the other is dusty - only 5 Spot Ons in 500 vintage diecast - ( others are PB Cresta which I bought, VW Variant which is probably in next lot to buy and Jag Mk1 which I wont buy as too costly and missing police sign)GHOSTHUNTER wrote:The star model for me out of all those fine examples is the 'SPOT-ON' Vauxhall 'PA Cresta, looks to be a super clean example, very nice.

Re: New in my collection !
I went back for a 3rd helping from that amazing collection being sold off and have now spent an average month´s after tax wages on this lot but 1/3 will be coming back from selling off around 16 cars.......
This time there is a holy grail in the lot, one car which likely would fetch as much as all the rest put together if sold by vectis.........so i feel blessed and was happy to spend

Re: New in my collection !
You have been blessed indeed - that's a very nice lot!
The Spot On Variant is certainly a gem. I see your one is the New Zealand issue, complete with white tailgate which sticks out like a sore thumb! The Spot On book claims that these are less thin on the ground than the Northern Ireland version, but I certainly haven't seen any evidence of this. You have a beautiful example, how about some close-up pictures?

Ok! It has an unpainted raw metal baseplate - is it catalog number 401 ???Fred7A wrote:You have been blessed indeed - that's a very nice lot!
