Done all the matchbox stuff I fetched last night I will pop round later to see him and take him out for a while I have found some interesting items but mainly much the same and a lot the same not sure on the boxed ones they may be different colours but so many it will take a lifetime to open them unless you know certain ones to check.
Still not got rest of the catalogues but will sort them later spoke to the old chap last night he is very happy you all enjoy watching them
Thanks so far
Steve

From what I am seeing I am guessing he was an avid ebay buyer because quite a number of hard to find models can not even be found at toy fairs.

Lots of wonderful things Steve, the Car Ferry and Commando Task Force boxes look in great condition and I would recon the contents will be as well.

Bob won't mind me saying this, he is not a Dinky collector, so for him to say WOW! says something for the quality of models seen so far, especially those minty Dinky Toys.
