Re: spot the gems (subjective!)
Cragstan as you know were a toy distibutor/importer but paid heavily to be involved with those Gamda Koor models.
Nice condition #69 Superfast Rolls-Royce, can we see the underside or inside the open boot to see if you have bagged a 'Long Seat' version.

You were correct about the condon dumpers and the minic A40 vanDrJeep wrote:Are there two Condon dumpers with missing drivers? A few Budgies in here too - Leyland Hippo cattle truck, bulk milk tanker, and the 3-wheel Scammell tractor from the British Railways delivery van. Is the red van with grey wings a Triang Minic A40?

Hi mick,you know me so well!,like i said earlier the roller and the condons stuck out to me but looking deeper i saw a few other items from the same late forties early fifties era so went for this lotMoyboy wrote:Condon dumper and the gold painted roller Dave.

Although the condons and the roller were the initial lure the gems for me were a timpo pick up truck,and an early non motor merlin jeep,the others in my fave line up are a charbens ambulance,crescent jaguar with metal wheels(this is in two parts in the photo just gorilla glued it

you are correct about the boot on the taxi(see photo in first reply)AJR wrote:Many years ago (early 80's) I went to a swapmeet at a place called Bergen Op Zoom (Holland) just for the hell of it really. I also had some continental free passes that needed using up.
There was nothing there of interest but to say I'd bought something, I bought a Schuco Sweeney Ford Consul GT and one of those Impala taxi's (bottom right corner of photo).
I forget the make now (something Eastern if I recall) but don't remember what happened to it. Maybe sold later on eBay. A strange model and I think only the boot opened.
The Schuco Consul GT I still have (pic attached with Oxford Diecast Sweeney Consul GT)

Thanks for the extra #69 Superfast Rolls-Royce pictures. Sadly it does not have the 'Long Seat' moulding!
