#22b Vauxhall Cresta Collection

Post by Kiov »

Hello all :D
I Just thought I would post something on my Vauxhall cresta PA Collection... I dont know why but these cars are my favorite model in the series. Anyone else have any cool Vauxhall cresta variations?

Very fun Kiov ! There are so many variations to look for and it seems you have a bunch.
I too like the Vauxhall as well although it is not common to find them here in North America in the wild in any shape or condition. (I don't do eBay so my frame of reference is flea markets, toy fairs and garage sales with the occasional trade or swap with other collectors.)
Enjoy!
Happy hunting!

why the cresta is so rare I don't know but its one that you rarely see, even in toy traders junk boxes.

The 22b Vauxhall Cresta has also been one of my favorites! For some reason (probably hard to find even then), I never had any as a kid, but in past years, I will buy one whenever I can find one for a decent price. Boxes are also hard to come by. Here are some models from my collection:

Thank you Kiov. I got that model in a group of Matchbox in a MB 48 Car case on Ebay several years ago -- what a treat that was!!

That is a great model Bill, looks to be in fairly good condition as well, I also love this model and find it very difficult to pass up on them when they are at a good price. J
