Cirencester 23 February 2020

Post by DrJeep »

I didn't find too much at Cirencester today but I'm pleased with these, all at £2 or less.

The most interesting are:

the early 21d - Nick's code 1, with a metal pin (not crimped) for the barrel and no axle braces. The barrel is two different colours, with the rear section more yellow than orange.

and the 8e Mustang, which is also an early casting with the steering guide level with the base. One of the rear wheels has been fitted the wrong way round, making it a nice error model.

I'd say you did pretty well. I've said it before...Brits have the best luck at toy shows and flea markets! (Last year, at what is supposedly the biggest and best "antiques" shopping venue in my area, I found only one vintage British die-cast...and of course, it was badly overpriced.) £2, at current exchange rates, works out to $2.59 US. Though they're not in my primary focus area, I'd be delighted with one of those crawlers at such a price...throw on a set of repro treads and drive it around on the floor.
