Yeah I am rather fond of the #75 Ferrari! Definitely my favorite Lesney model. I believe I'm up to 20 of them now.
Most of my customs and restorations are in those cases. I want to say they're called Stackers, got them for Christmas one year when I was a kid back in the mid to late '90s. They work great, I wish i had more.

Re: MBXPilot's Lesney Collection
Nice to hear that I am not the only addict to numbers.
You've got 20 Ferrari's #75, I have got 35 Rolls Royces #44 (all in different colors)....
If you love someone, you can't get enough of ............... whatever...............

Re: MBXPilot's Lesney Collection
Honestly that Rolls would probably be my second choice of all the Lesneys, they really represented the real car well.

Re: MBXPilot's Lesney Collection
Not a bad find for less that $5 shipped! I have loads of these Fiats, but none with the luggage. When I get settled in wherever I'm going to live and get my workbench set back up, my next restoration hurdle to jump is molding my own parts. So I'm trying to collect all the original parts I can to use! Should be fun.

Re: MBXPilot's Lesney Collection
Talking about buying "El Cheapo"; this came my way at the second hand shop this afternoon.
Total bill: € 4,50. Not a bad catch, lots of Lesney for little coin.

It's a nice feeling when you find these in the wild, away from the likes of ebay.

That's definitely a good deal! Some nice restoration candidates there.

The Ferrari was the most expensive at € 1,50, the others were 1,00 and the Chevy came at no charge...........MBXPilot wrote:That's definitely a good deal! Some nice restoration candidates there.

Re: MBXPilot's Lesney Collection
Well I went a little bit above my regular budget on these, but I'm thrilled with them. Exactly the condition I like to have in my collection, not perfect, but a few character marks. Paid about $15 shipped for the pair, and both are new models to the collection!
