23 with filler cap

Post by fixer »

Picked these up today vw with filler cap not as nice as motorman's but happy to have one at £2.60 off ebay
36c from a flee market, grabbed it as it is minty then noticed the grey engine and painted underside of the bonnet once back home

Reg i love the #23 camper and it's always nice to find one! I was very lucky when i picked up another one a few weeks ago at Falkirk for a five pound note!!! and it is mint!!!!!

Still looking for a mint box to put it in though. :(

As for the Opel, that is a nice find to get a model that has missed the engine chrome!!! i would be very happy with that Reg, nice one!! RESULT!!!

Reg, be very careful!!

There are lots and lots of fakes out there!! The only ones that i would consider buying are the blue filler cap variants with the off white interior, solid thin tyres which i understand were lesney colour trials. The orange #23's with the orange interior are more than likely (in my opinion) to be interior swaps and i would not have one for that reason.

Due to the often loose rivits its actually extremely easy to make your own for pennys with just a standard orange and a standard blue!

Hi fixer, nice models you got. The #36 has not missed its engine being chromed, it is the grey variation and a hard one to find. Well done.

Thanks for the correction Carb. At first glance i thought it was the green engined SF version of the #36. I now realise that it is the RW #36 that Reg has posted an image of.
