My latest news

Hi all,

today I held for first time a Trojan 1 ton van in my hands and needed to buy it even though I think I paid a bid too much for it.
The Jaguar is pretty good exept the scratches on the roof.
The Karrier is much played with and one wheel is missing.

Grey nice Stephan!
Congratulations!
The Trojan 1 ton looks pretty clean. We don’t see it often here in the States.
Enjoy!

After a a five week period without new Matchbox models I added another little model to the collection.

Yes you are right - and it goes on with a Austin Radio car, a Superfast fork lift truck and a quite nice Ferrari Berlinetta.
The horse looked in the first moment Matchbox like bud I´m afraid it isn´t.

Dos anyone know something about the Military model?
It is made of metal and only marked with 1.

Oh things are really picking up now Stephan!
I presume you are questioning the military model on the left in the photo and not the austin radio truck .
I have never seen a model like that, is it made of metal? How bout a pic of the underside.
Maybe Ghosty knows it??
To me it looks like a militarized Triumph TR7

I'm pretty sure I've seen something similar produced in either the DDR or the USSR. It would have been on Ebay, but a quick search has not thrown up any obvious candidates.

That was a good one
Meanwhile I found out it is a armored car SPW40 made by Espewe or Plasticart or MAB in GDR.

Perhaps the original was based on a Trabant 601?
