Yes, loved and played-with and not so easy to find. Nice one Ewan!

Thanks guys! I think I should make more use of this phrase, not just when describing my Matchbox, but perhaps when describing myself

The second joblot has arrived and I've just managed to have a wee peek and take a few snaps to share with you all.
First up, the Muira

The paint loss is worst above the (cracked) screen. Am I the only one who finds that the gold paint of this era seems prone to bubbling and lifting? Maybe it's just the models I come across but it seems to happen frequently. In this particular instance I can live with it

I am very very happy indeed!

Apologies for posting these bit at a time, I've been having a lot of hassle getting pics up here today. Think it's probably down to my daughter using Skype on her laptop and hogging the signal. I've got her doing the dishes so I can get these posted
Not one but two 'Jaffas' in this lot - here is the better one

And finally, although this may seem a bit boring to some of you after the Lambo and Jaffas, I was pretty chuffed to get this 'Wildcat' - it's a model I particularly like

And there was this Lamborghini Countach. I know there are loads and loads of variations on this, I have no idea which are htf and which are common but if it's of any use to any of you and you fancy swapping it drop me a PM

They were indeed, I must admit I very rarely look elsewhere as the postage costs from outside the UK can put me off. Mind you the postage costs from many UK sellers put me off too!
