I would encourage you to run out to a store and spend $20 on current Lesneys for the Grandson. Even the 'Newest' models in your collection could be 20 years old by now, some being collected by your Grandfather that may have been 'odd' or special. Please use care so you do not damage a rare interior color/ window color/ base color later model Toy without really knowing it's true value. I am a regular wheel (Pre-1970) collector out of upstate N.Y., but there are plenty of collectors here that are very well versed in later Superfast models you may have. If you have any Bulgarian models, let the youngsters ruin them and Post some clear pictures of that here.....
kwakers (
I am just kidding about that, many here are even into collecting the odd Bulgarian later variations.......)

Thank you for the tips! I will definitely make sure he doesn't beat up on them too much.
I posted a few more pictures tonight. I tried to get some of the cars people have been asking about.
And I posted a couple pictures with boxes. The vauxhall box is by far the worst shape box I have. I have about 30 D boxes and then 150 or more of the other versions. And they are all in great shape.

Elinders also the no 41 Green Jaguar D type with wire wheels and no. 5 decals in mint is a very nice item and would also sell well.

I figured I would try to actually post a picture in here too.
Are there any specific type D boxes (or any other boxes) that I should keep an eye out for? The few I have checked on this site seem pretty common but you guys will know better.
Like this one?
It's the only one with that moko script that I have spotted so far.

Sorry my pictures are all over the place. Cars on top of the boxes, boxes turned around, boxes being cut off in the picture, weird angles, etc. I am just trying to give everyone an idea of what's there. If I decide to sell any I will use our actual camera and get everyone some close ups.
I saw this box in one of the boxes but I like this one, thought I would post it.

Oh and I put a couple pictures of these trucks in the album. They were just in a bag with the boxes.
They still look like they are in great shape.
I wish I had taken a picture of the large 360 car case before I took off the plexiglass. Every car was wrapped in 2 or 3 tissues and put back in it's spot. And they have been stored like that for at least 10 years, probably more. He took great care of everything.
