Spare parts for Matchbox/Dinky Collectibles?

[Tinman]

Tinman, I'm sure you are correct. Best I can hope for is that someone has a beater that isn't also missing the hood ornament!

I keep reading comments from people across the pond who say this series sells for a dime a dozen at toy fairs and boot sales. Might be true over there but no so here in USA. Sure, there are a few heavily overproduced models that do sell on the cheap (same for YYs), but the rest seem to be holding some value. Good luck on your search.
