Hi Ian,
And there was me thinking you lads were going to be a source of cheap Spot On's for me
I've never seen any of the NZ models in the hand, do the bases say made in New Zealand? I only know the yellow boxes from the normal version.
Cheers

Made in Uk or Northern Ireland info is removed from base but made in New Zealand not added.

Not always Matt - I have seen some with Made in New Zealand on the base... I'll check at home and see if I can find one to photograph....

Ian would be great to see a model with New Zealand on base. My small NZ spot on collection have bases with no country of manufacture.

Hi all,
Had a good Spot On week this week, these two came up at a pretty reasonable price....
Austin Loadstar Artic.
No crate, but I already had the MGA waiting.
AEC BRS Wagon.
Missing tailboard, touched in cab roof, but still nice enough.
Rover P5 with lights.
Missing a bit of bumper.
Also got a boxlid for the Ford Thames British Rail Artic, just need the model now.
Cheers
Chris Warr.

I am new to this forum today and it is interesting to see and discuss other collections.I have been collecting Spot-On for 35 years this year (this month in fact-March).I had purchased three Spot-On models belatedly in 1966 (when I was 16) from the Coop toy department in Luton.They were a red Austin Mini,Light blue Humber Super Snipe and a grey NSU Prinz.I dug these out of my original collection of models from my childhood days (including some Dinky,Corgi,Siku pre 1967 plastic 1/60 models and Matchbox 1-75) in 1983.That was it I was hooked and within days was spending money I didn't have!
The Mini shown is one of those models and although not mint is in excellent condition with good box considering how long I've had it! I hope you find it interesting.I hope to post more models as time allows.Watch this space!
Happy collecting everyone!
