Ok, update on that. I just dug out the Berlinetta from my son's toy box and it has the thin SF wheels. So I guess that's a no no still, while I was there I dug out a hole bunch more of my other toys. Should be fun working through them tonight.

Just make sure you don't stay up later than bedtime!

Dont forget us lot....images please!

Not of the Lambo but you've asked so here are a few I've stolen back from my son and liberated from my dad's collection. Some in mint condition, many are not.

Being a bit of a beginner spotting wise, If anyone sees anything I should know about or would like a few more pics of specific cars, please let me know. I'll be greatly appreciated.

Lesney: Many regular and some SF. Interestingly, can you spot the 2 GPW wheels and name them? A clue is one was repainted long ago.


Next up is Corgi, Technically the wrong board I know but still. Here they are. My favourites are the F1 car and the cadillac.


and lastly is the odds & sods. We have Husky and and Tuf Tots at the front, Dinky toys (+1 Crescent) in the middle and finally, at the back is a Motor Max BMW (Sealed in box), Majorite Cattle trailer and a Maisto Porsche 959.

Hello McCarthyMR

Can you look at the car i have highlighted. It could potentialy be worth big bucks if it has Superfast wheels on it. I have included an image of my SF version so you can identify the wheel type i am talking about.

Hey Motorman,

I wish it was but I'm afraid this is the wired wheel version as per the pics below.

I wouldn't be down heartened!

This is one of my favourite Matchbox models and your RW variant still excites me .

Does your version have silver trim on the front grill?....it's hard to see on the images you have posted.

Yes it does. Front grill only though. FYI: Same colour, this is without the flash. See below:

Thanks for clearing that up. Looks like a nice example of a wire wheeled RW#75

Thanks you sir, It's one of my favourites too. I've found a lot of my old cars but I'm still missing quite a few. as an example, I have 2 Mini Ha-Ha's. 1 I found as it was with my main bunch of cars I'd passed over to my son. Nothing special or unusual about it.

The other one though, I hid away years ago (and not seen it since). The reason was I believed it to be a miss-cast. The Blue back window was half open as it was factory fitted with a cut-away diagonally across. I just wish I could find it as I'm certain some of my other missing cars will turn up as well.
