Hi guys and gals.

It's been a while but I finally managed to put some time into the hobby by visiting the Barry Potter toy fair at Bolton recently.

100 stalls of nothing then managed to pick up these 4 on almost consecutive tables.



The Mercedes has the 'J' mould small solid wheels that appeared briefly on a few 1971 models and the Dragon Wheels has a plated base. Not my cup of tea but I haven't seen one in the wild previously.



Star of the show for me though is the thin wheel, wide arch Marzal. I've spent years searching for this variation and finally found one for £1 in a beater box!

Neat Marzal and F box would be welcome in any collection here that doesnt yet include one! Are those the small Cortina sized wheels on the 230SL?

Nice to see you posting, that Marzal is a superb find and very rare. The unpainted base model
Is superb as well. both I still need to find.
All the best
Jason

Great finds John, Thanks for sharing.

I really like that Marzal, a rare find, nice one with that thin wheel and wide wheel arch combo.
