Hi Alex, some more nice finds you have there. The Mustang is my favourite, but that #32 Bora is nice.

The Lone-Star 'Buggies' were introduced in 1970. There were Six sets issued with such names as...'Santa Monica', 'Laguna' and 'San Diego'. The buggies were made up of essentially Three different bases and Three different roof mouldings. Your brown boxes are for the 'Sun Crush' promotion with Six models and there was also a 'Mars Chocolate' Fun Fair promotion with Three models. Outside of the promotionals, the models were marketed in fully closed boxes or blister carded.

The sets are not very common so you did well to secure yours with what looks like all the packing and the leaflet.

Hope that is of some help.

Brilliant, thanks Hugh and Kevin. I think i will hold onto the Buggies as they are great fun!!

I must admit the buggies are not my cup of tea but they do have a fun look to them
For me it's the metallic red #19 , still hunting for one came close at the last Sandown just in time to see a lucky punter pop it in his bag
A good day at the office Al

Cheers Reg, i have also been looking for a metallic red #19 for a while and was delighted to get this minter.

Very nice finds mm, I'm a fan of s/f Mustang's, so that's my personal favourite.

I have to agree with John, the Mustang is superb and hard to find minty like that. J

Alex, this Mustang with this box....great!
