I have now given all my doubles of these to my son and selling the rest. I have had these from an early age and they have been with me for 48+ years I have been researching them for about 3 weeks now and it has been a journey lol. I almost feel guilty for doing it but they have to go. I have had them on a site here in Canada/ Ontario for a couple of weeks but most only want parts of it. I would prefer to sell the whole lot .So I thought I would try here as this has been my go to site for info and the help has been great. I'm just going to throw some pics out for now and if your interested or have question feel free to pm me or if you need more pics let me know. 15 are near mint 5 are in excellent shape. the boxes I would say 7 are near mint the rest are in various stages of disrepair (missing flaps / small holes in some) we can discuss shipping and payment as I don't do any kind of transactions through paypal or the internet after being hacked a couple of years ago and please don't mention Ebay as as a way to sell these. If your interested throw some numbers at me and yes I do have an Idea of the value.so be nice lol. also There is 3 with variations in them The lomas Ambulance has the 2 shades of white on the back doors also the bedford news van has no silver trim on it and the Thunderbird has no silver on the headlights

Well done Canadian, that is good news and thank you again for bringing them to the forum and I hope the new owner does show them individually on the forum.

Thanks Don (Canadian), it was a pleasure doing business with you!
This collection is going to stay in Canada & I am very much looking forward to receiving it. Bit of a risk here as I won't really know what I have until they are in my hands, but I will try to find the time to post some close-up photos once I get them.

Ah! Scott, what a nice little collection you now have, there are some really nice models in good condition. I never had you down as a Lesney collector, having conversed with you before on Hong Kong Dinky Toys, but this is true of many members here, fingers in several Pies...

Yes, that user name has been with me for a long time...since back in the old MCCH days when I first started getting serious about collecting vintage diecast toys.

Yes, "Banbury Antique" would be an awkward moniker.
