Thanks guys! I think I should make more use of this phrase, not just when describing my Matchbox, but perhaps when describing myselfjohnboy wrote:Yes, loved and played-with and not so easy to find. Nice one Ewan!fixer wrote:It's not poor Ewan it's full of character

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
There is an engine in here
And the missing tyre makes the block easy to see, making this a Nick's Code 7
I am very very happy indeed!
First up, the Muira

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 here is the not-as-good 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!fixer wrote:well done Ewan the lambo was very well spotted , were they on the uk site
