My favorite find of this year was an ebay purchase over the summer of this Superking Pipe Truck in Pink, the same color as the Cougar Dragster.

Hello All,

I collected a lot of nice models in this year, for example the ESSO labelled SF13A Dodge Wrecker, but in the summer I found this two SF35A Merryweather and a silver grilled RW17A. So here are mine.

Cheers, Peter

Very, very nice indeed, Peter. Those two fire engine variations are very hard to find in any condition, and the silver-trimmed maroon 17a is an often overlooked htf model.

Very nice, Peter. I think the Merryweather with the half sill is very scarce, and as Hugh says, the 17a in maroon with silver trim was an excellent find!

Can I just say that it's nice to see htf/rare playworn models being found and cherished
Makes a nice change from the minty big bucks ones only a few collectors can afford
Just goes to show they're out there if you look hard enough

The cream 62C is probably at the very top of my list of dream finds!
