daz28s Matchbox regulars collection.

Post by daz28 »

Picked this one up at the weekend , the guy wanted €7 so I offered €5 and he took it. probably around £4 (it would cost that in postage from ebay).
searching the forum its nothing special, the paint is poor, but it will look good next to the green one if I ever find it out :lol:

I will be adding to this post as I take photos of my collection ;) .

It is a shame about the paint, but it still has the tow hook, which is a bonus... :D

Looking forward to your posts - sometimes the searching (and then the getting) is the best part of collecting.
Just when you reach the point of thinking "I'll never get that variation" you have that win/find - Magic!

A yellow 11a and an orange 24a - let alone these are worth the money :D

A nice selection there and the larger low loader is a good one to have.

This one was a disaster :oops: , I had the trailer for a while and decided to buy a cab from ebay, sadly when it arrived it was a tad small :lol:

If you was expecting a cab to be of the same size, then you may not find one, look at the VECTIS sourced picture below.

The trailer is extra large to allow the miniature cars to fit, making the cab look far too small.
