zBret -Bottom of the Barrel finds

[MatchboxFreak]

Congratulations zBret on this red driver, red shovel 43b.
I've always been fond of this version since my childhood model was red driver red shovel.
Kwackers finally sold me one to replace my childhood toy which went missing decades ago. (Thank you Kwackers.)
Enjoy!

Thanks Kurt
It's always nice to acquire one that one has memories of. Was like that for me too, when I was finally was able to find a 20c taxi in yellow/orange, with a red interior- the interior color that I remember the one from my childhood days had.
Funny how we remember such particulars from long ago.

Happily added this 5e Lotus Europa in pink and sporting G3 labels to my lot.
It was a true Bottom of the Barrel find at 79p
Just have to find the G3 labeled 56c BMC now to complete the set.

Added these two, to my small Budgie collection
The harder to find green chassis version of the 22 Crane Truck and an Orange Cab 24 Refuse Truck

They join my small fleet of other Budgie Bedford TK's, which include the 23 Cement Mixer, 22 Crane Truck -Orange chassis and the 25 Cattle Truck

Still on the hunt for the 21 Tipper

Very nice indeed zB, I like this range. I've got a little collection of these packed away somewhere, not as nice as yours, I'll have to get them out.

[zBret]

Yes JB drag them out and blow the dust off them, would like to see them.
I like the TK Budgies as they are quite colorful and recall having a few as a kid.
Nicholas Martin who I believe is a member on our forum here has a nice webpage on Budgies
with lots of info on the different models.
