Blue-windowed Flying Bug?

Yes the blue window was nice on the flying bug and the amber glass stretcha.

Sambron with tampo and speedboat with brown base. Very nice indeed! (For someone who said in January that he was going to be taking it easy this year as far as collecting went, you still seem to be going great guns.)

Just so many keep coming along I cannot resist them, my excuse for this lot was my dad wanted a few ours out :D

Sambron I was so happy when I turned the model around I nearly shouted out, brown base speedboat had the other colour driver which I needed so also very happy with that one.
Altogether a very happy saturday hunting. J

Very nice. I miss the British car boots. They are few and far between here in NZ and most are not worth the effort. I've only found one annual event that is worth attending. One a year. :(

Very jealous of the amber glass stretcha, blue window bug and most of all the Sambron. I have only the brown base Seafire of those mentioned above. Funnily enough, it was 50p at a car boot in London. Sigh!

Cheers,
Gavin

These 2 just added to the collection, both in superb condition. The 50a Commer pick up in red/white I am very pleased with and the Fandango was a nice bargain. J

Love the pick-up Jason, what a brilliant addition. Is the Fandango hard to get with those windows and the prop in blue?

The purple windows are not to hard to get, just the model was quite cheap and I could not resist it and as it turned out it was one I had overlooked and did
not have at all. Still learning a bit myself on these later ones John , its just nice to get mint ones instead of my normal chipped ones.J
