Some assorted HO scale French cars....

Would you just look at the detail on the 'H' Van, for it's time a stunning model, the toolmaker who cut the tooling for this needs appraising as it's so good. My non-British made models are very few and far between, but this is one I would add to the collection, thanks for showing it here.

JRD made some terrific stuff, the big artic lorries were amazing, some of the best 1:43 Diecast made anywhere in the world. They were absorbed into CIJ I think, and they made great stuff too, but JRD were special,

The only JRD that I own I have kept for many years. I found it in the back of a toy store in Liege, Belgium, when I was a kid in 1977! Bonne chance, n'est-ce pas?

My comments earlier about the 'H' Van by 'JRD' apply here as well for the Peugeot, simply a superb casting, as good as many Dinky Toys and much better than others.

Thank's for showing this one Karl, she is in stunning condition.

What a beauty Karl! You did well there mate.
Just as good, if not better than French Dinky of the period, I love that box too, I'm really going to have to look out for a couple more of these.

I had this Citroën 2CV in my hands. A badly repainted one.
We just can see that the cast isn't worth the Dinky one.

[GHOSTHUNTER]

Despite being a repaint, it looks OK. What was the original colour, medium Grey perhaps!

Medium to dark grey.
But plenty of promotional ones.

I'm really looking for an original D4a "Thompson" van to match the "Primagaz", anybody got a decent picture of the baseplate of a real one, not the new version?
