"No Rockets in this lot at all,but there are 3 Corgi Juniors"

I stand corrected,
Ghosty.

I bought this lot at the bus collectors market at IWM Duxford last sunday. The orange tractor isnt mint and cost £9. Less stalls than last time but still plenty of playworn vintage stuff in the £1-2 price range

Interesting finds as always! Just found an orange tractor myself. Yours looks nicer.

Your Iso Grifo looks like a very light shade in this photo...

VERY cool! Must be a little on the hard to find side of things.
From the pic It almost looks like a completely different hue, and not a shade difference. What do you think?

it is a completely different blue,the closest match in my Lesney collection is the 65a Jag
Shown from left to right is the early issue light RW, common RW shade,standard SF shade, last issue darkest blue SF with dark seats,then front early darker turquoise and finally later lighter turquoise - the one I dont have is the final Japanese powder blue

Think thats called the metallic blue in Nicks listing as apposed to the dark metallic blue. I prefer the model in the lighter blue looks great on display. J

I am finally glad to have one even this beater ! As far as I can tell this shade variation is most likely to appear in the UK rather than USA or Germany

Great find Mr Mick.Thats the Htf lighter blue variant indeed and welcome in any collection.Havn't come across a mint-boxed speciment as yet.
Enjoy!

I prefer the lighter metallic blue, it looks superb, very nice Mick.
