Like many collectors, I prefer mint or very near mint models, but I'm more open when HTF "Bangers" cross my path...

Also, I just discovered Photobucket has been "improved" to the pont where I am now officially to stupid to use it.

Rodger has an excellent selection there! Good to see that GPW 15b found a good home Rodger!

Steve knows that I like my beaters - here's more of them...

Your #41 Ford GT looks to be in very good condition indeed, that would take pride of place in many collections!

The #20 ERF Stake truck and the #52 Mazerati also look in very good nick.

Take them out of your beater box now!!

I agree, the Ford Tractor looks good too and the Fairlane is better than most. As for the rest, utter bangers, just send them my way :D

Yes, it was a VERY lucky ebay win that came with 3 other early pieces, the photo was very dark and I had to lighten it to see the wheels were actually grey,
it had a £4.95 starting bid and there were no other bidders so I got it for £4.95 !!!!.

The 14c Lomas is white and it has cross outline on the roof and black wheels, a very rare variation 1, I can't remember where I got it but it was overpainted and I never found out it had cross outline until I removed the overpainting.

Nick, you can still see some of the green overpaint on the window pillars of that Lomas.....you are getting sloppy in your old age ;)
