23 with filler cap
Re: 23 with filler cap
Reg i love the #23 camper and it's always nice to find one! I was very lucky when i picked up another one a few weeks ago at Falkirk for a five pound note!!! and it is mint!!!!!
Still looking for a mint box to put it in though.
As for the Opel, that is a nice find to get a model that has missed the engine chrome!!! i would be very happy with that Reg, nice one!! RESULT!!!

they remind me of holidays in the devon and dorset areas in the 70's when my dad had one
looking out for an affordable orange with orange interior one day ... one day

Re: 23 with filler cap
Reg, be very careful!!
There are lots and lots of fakes out there!! The only ones that i would consider buying are the blue filler cap variants with the off white interior, solid thin tyres which i understand were lesney colour trials. The orange #23's with the orange interior are more than likely (in my opinion) to be interior swaps and i would not have one for that reason.

Due to the often loose rivits its actually extremely easy to make your own for pennys with just a standard orange and a standard blue!motorman wrote:Reg, be very careful!!

Re: 23 with filler cap
Hi fixer, nice models you got. The #36 has not missed its engine being chromed, it is the grey variation and a hard one to find. Well done.
Re: 23 with filler cap
Thanks for the correction Carb. At first glance i thought it was the green engined SF version of the #36. I now realise that it is the RW #36 that Reg has posted an image of.
