Unexpected freebie selection received

A friend called me to say he had received an old box of toys, and did I want any of them? Non-collector friends often have strange ideas as to what might be interesting to collectors, so I had no idea what to expect. He brought the box around, and the contents were very nostalgic for me, as these were toys familiar from my childhood. I actually owned examples of the Matchbox Mercedes and Porsche, and Burago Stratos, and my non-rally blue Polistil Citroen CX was one of my childhood favourites. Anyway, I selected the items shown. It's a shame the larger models are missing a few of their fragile attachments, but it was great to get these for free, and very kind of my friend to think of me. The rest of the items from the box will go to his grandchildren and fulfil their intended purpose for a new generation!
