Windsor toy fair, Saturday 30th January.
Picked up this nice little number...#40 Royal Tiger Coach with Grey Plastic Wheels in very good condition. These are quite hard to find especially for the measly £4 I paid for it.
I may consider doing a swap with this to the first member to come forward with an 'Applegreen' Y-5 Bentley from the 'Models of Yesteryear' range.

I don't know about a Bentley but there is a trim line 24c that's still "on loan" to a certain moderator

The recent Birmingham toy fair saw me capture this little gem...
Twin spare wheels.
Small windscreen support.
UN-braced front wing struts.
1st type baseplate.
...and all this for £1.
Then at the more recent Kempton Park toy fair I bagged this little gem...
Twin spare wheels.
Small windscreen support.
Braced front wing struts.
1st type baseplate.
The only difference being the braced front wing struts at the bottom where they join the axle-housing.
...all this for £2.
At the same toy fair I saw this late 70's issue Riley...
Very hard to find with Maroon seat and grille insert.
This was a staggering £3, so after my massive payout for these Two 'Yesteryears' my budget was blown for the rest of the Day...

Thank you Jason. It is easy to get stuck into your own little World of specialist subject models and miss the other stuff out there, but as you have been with me a few times at toy fairs, I do try and keep my Eyes open for non Rolls-Royce collectibles and was very pleased to see the Riley.nearlymint wrote:Very nice models Ghosty, really like that Riley.You are adding some great models .
