Alan Wank (the Toy Boy) will most likely be there (at the Gathering), check out his web page for your needs. He's a very reputable dealer.

Good Afternoon all, Well my original listing has gotten quite small as I have acquired most of the models on my list. The only one left is still the 11a Road Tanker in Green. For some reason this model still eludes me in high grade. I was close to securing one about a year ago but the deal never came to fruition. The seller sent me some beautiful pictures and the model was one of the best I had seen but I could never get a price from them. I am truly not sure if they even ever had the model in question or if it was an old set of photos from something they had sold before.

I am starting a new list of more models and will work my way through it as time goes on. As you can see my old list is almost finished. Below my old list you will find my new list. If you know of anyone with these models looking to sell let me know.

OLD LIST
11a Road Tanker - Green Body
11b Road Tanker - Red Body / Black Plastic Wheels
15a Prime Mover - Yellow Body
19a MGA TD Sports Car - White Body
26b Foden Cement Truck - Gray Barrel
27a Bedford Low Loader - Light Blue Cab / Dark Blue Trailer
39a Ford Zodiac Convertible - Pink Body / Tan Interior
59b Ford Fairlane Fire Chief Car - Gray Plastic Wheels
71c Ford Heavy Wreck Truck - Amber Windows


NEW LIST
7a - Horse Drawn Milk Float - Silver Load
11a - ERF Petrol Tanker - Green Body
15b - Rotinoff Tractor - Gray Plastic Wheels
17a - Bedford Van - Maroon with Silver Trim
19b - MGA - Silver Plastic Wheels
26b - Cement Mixer - Silver Plastic Wheel
30c - Faun 8 Wheel Crane - Mint Green
31b - Station Wagon - Metallic Green with Black Plastic Wheels
33a - Ford Zodiac - Blue
34a - 15cwt Van - Silver Plastic Wheels

Let me know if you can help out on any of these - of course I am after high grade examples.

Thanks, John

Hi John, looks like you have got another good list.Over the last few months i have been sorting a few things out, mainly boxes some i thought i had then realised i hadn't . It is getting harder to find anything mint the odd bit comes up on Ebay but it seems to go for a fortune . Good luck with your hunting Pete.
