Inspired by ewan i went hunting and found this lot,it wasn,t local like i hoped(postage £10 so total cost £24) so i am waiting for the mail man,its been despatched so hopefully in a couple of days.There is with a bit of luck a couple of gems,the first pic the gem is obvious,in the second pic fingers crossed you have to look hard,plus dying to know who made the rolls shell ,i thought/hoped spot on but doesn,t look quite right.

Cool! I love lots like this :D
Think I've got your first gem (large scale tractor), but my limited knowledge means I'm struggling with the second pic. Where's the pin on that Fairy?

Hello Mokosex,

It does look like the SPOT-ON 'Royal' Rolls-Royce to me.

Not a lot you can do with it in that condition, but a full resto project !

I believe all the parts are available, Steve Flowers and all that, but the total cost will be more than what you've paid so far, but if that rocks your boat, then go ahaead, I look forward to seeing it finished.

Thank's for the link MOKOSEX,

I have had it as a saved image, but not as an actual comic and would liked to have had a go at that one, never mind, another one will turn up.

Cheers MOKOSEX,

you're right there are three red hubbed vehicles,the tractor ,what looks like part of the freuhof cab and the upside down one which is the fingers crossed gem ,just the colour and body shape doesn,t look like the gt or jag ,but if i had to pick i would guess the jag

Well spotted sir!

I reckon your guess is a good one :D There's a photo on the site of 3 upside down Jags and that baseplate looks right.
