After 2 months without adding any cars to my collection,only selling 6, spring is here this week with a flea market saturday and a toyfair sunday 
Batmobile is very close to mint,may or may not be better than the one I already have -it looks like a factory error with 2 Batmans and no Robin!
Very pleased to have a good SF 1st body Rolls painted in RW red - not easy to find.........

Sunday´s toyfair yielded these - the gpw snow plow is an upgrade. There were 3 empty tables even though what was once only a diecast event now has 1/4 tables for rail only sellers and sales seemed to be slow even though there was a big crowd. Prices were low - £30 for the Mobil truck (loose ends to tank) and £10 for each 1/43 all very reasonable compared to ebay and no shipping I am particularly pleased to finally find a shade variation of SF22c after 15 years of finding only the common medium shade here in the wild but favourite of this lot is the lightly playworn Mercury Maserati

It must be at least 10 years since I have seen so many flea market tables combined with so few quality diecast. This lot cost me £25

That cream is a scarce colour on Teknos, short run on Lincoln and E type Jag , worth more than any other standard colours as far as I know!

Diecast at local fleamarkets in 2015 are well down on previous recent years and generally poor rubbish.This lot cost £8, most of it for the French Dinky Citroen with busted windscreen and missing tailgate - luckily the Corgi is a passable substitute and the same donor will hopefully provide me with a slot in windscreen if I can get around to it.....

It was good to see you at Brooklands and swap a few items. I'm afraid I haven't got around to photographing the models I got from you.
The box for that Selfridge Corgi Routemaster looks really similar to the one my Zylmex DMS came in, and they even called it a Routemaster on the box! A previous owner was obviously unimpressed by this and tippexed out the word "Routemaster", and defaced the rear of the box to remove this description! I have since bought an unmolested example, and the title on the back of the box is Routemaster DMS588! The artwork looks very Matchbox-inspired. What artwork is on the back of the Corgi box?
