Hi Reg,
I've decided to get a few of these, I had loads as a kid and I like to replace the stuff I had back then. Just picked up a lot with another version of the Circus truck, gold cage on red chassis, I'll post some pix when they arrive.
Cheers
Chris Warr.

Hi all,
As promised here's my Tuff Tot collection. I just need a skip lorry now....





They're pretty rough, but I love them.

??? Vauxhall Estate ('Pre-Pro' model, never released).

'Sport' versions simply have the addition of sticky labels with a race number displayed.

Many of the above were re-issued on blister cards with a new 4 digit catalogue number, the 3 digit numbers above are for the first releases in closed cardboard boxes.

Cheers Ghosty,
That's really useful. I'm not collecting the cars now, but probably will at some point. What is the lorry BTW? A US Ford or GMC I guess?
See, I knew all along you were the Lone Star expert

Thank's Chris.

I believe the little Tuf-Tots truck is based on the Ford 'N' series, but I am not a Ford U.S. expert so maybe someone can confirm this for us.

I wonder which Vauxhall?

I wonder which Vauxhall?

I seem to remember the Vauxhall being described as Cresta, which because there are no 'Classic' vehicles in the range (unless this was going to be the First!), it could be the 'PA' Cresta or 'PB' Cresta both fitting the period of the other cars in the range. The picture I have seen of the model suggests to me it is the 'FB' Victor, the same model as the Matchbox 'FB Victor' and an estate at that!
