Thanks johnboy for the link,. :)

Great to see them with the box included , saldy most of the cars of the shoebox are without
the boxes. Lets see online if there are still some boxes for those budgie,s. :P

Did you get the budgie with some gas at a gasstation or did people really buy them exclusive.? :roll:

The shoebox made me interested whats the mysterie behind this small cars . :lol:

ON ebay (notice by nick,s site) i saw some too , and some cars with boxes are pretty priced. :shock:

I will put the box now aside and check this forum more often to learn about lesney, chat and comments.

i still havent dicide what i will do with the car,s. :| Maybe start a collection like ghosthunter :mrgreen:

Ok guys let me now check some your post. :D

Thank you for the responces, guys. I was amazed too when i find them too. I expected trains(marklin).
Ok Budgie brand for the other two,.. that explains why i could not find them in the Lesney list. :oops:
My grandfather has some friends in the UK for many years, maybe they
give him the cars by a present, the ambulance and to add to his train railway upset. :)

thanks for the comments. I am new here but appreciate the comments and the views.

great to meet you all.
Frenk,

The Budgies were sold in the HEMA in the Netherlands and even advertised in a National Newspaper. price was 25 cent! In Box!
