My guess is that you bought the lot for the orange crawler at the bottom of the box under the car Transporter. It looks to be a beauty. I hope the back half turns out as nice as the front half appears to be!
Here’s hoping I got it right!

you are correct! :D

Very nice! Congratulations! It’s amazing to me that the rubber tracks have survived for all these decades. Enjoy!

One of my favorites in the lot is the Corgi Corvair. My mother’s first car was a green 61 Corvair. I can still remember returning from my grandparents late at night in the back of the Corvair with the back seat folded down; 3 kids lined up on the rear deck in our pajamas with no seatbelts!
Happy hunting!

The Dinky Triumph 2000 looks in really good order, and I see the glider trailer too - is there any sign of the glider anywhere?
