Lotus is a great find Alex, one of the harder ones to find with wide arches and thin wheels.

Also arrived this week a rather nice #45 Ford Group 6 in lime green with yellow base, these are actually quite tough to find.

The VW box is pristine! Wish I could find a Lesney box in such terrific shape.

A big thank you to Peter ‘Ergomatic’ for sending me the link to this hard to find #51 AEC 8 wheel tipper with hard to find Grey plastic baseplate. A tough piece to find and will fill a hole until a minty example comes along. Thanks again Peter.
