Last November I posted a want list as I had a few extra dollars. 2015 turned out to be a banner year for me and saw many of my needs fulfilled. I had to wait for just the right model as I tend to be very picky in my condition of cars. I still have 1,000's of variations to go and many boxes to upgrade. Sometimes I get overwhelmed by which model to purchase. It never fails to amaze me though as soon as I drop some money on a high end model, three more appear that I need but cannot pull the trigger on as the money tree needs to replenish itself. I am looking for more rare models in 2016 and hopefully will be able to secure a few of them. Here is the list as it appeared last November

#17A Bedford Removals Van (blue)
#22B Vauxhall Cresta (pink & gray)
#27C Cadillac Sixty Special (metallic green)
#31B Ford Fairlane Station Wagon (yellow)
#43A Hillman Minx (apple green)
#46B Pickfords Removal Van (beales)
#47B Commer Ice Cream Canteen (metallic blue)
#55B Ford Galaxie Police Car (dark blue)
#56A London Trolley Bus (black poles)
#59A Ford Thames Van (kelly green, SPW)
#52A Fordson Tractor (yellow hubs)
#74A Mobile Refreshment Canteen (white or cream body)
#75B Ferrari Berlinetta (red)

Since that time I have been able to take off quite a few of the models, here is the list as it appears today.

#17A Bedford Removals Van (blue)
#46B Pickfords Removal Van (beales)
#56A London Trolley Bus (black poles)
#52A Fordson Tractor (yellow hubs)

I will be adding the following to my list so if anyone has connections let me know.

#8A - Caterpillar Tractor (orange)
#8E - Ford Mustang Fastback (redish orange)
#10C - Sugar Container Truck (with crown decal)
#11A - Road Tanker (Green)
#11A - Road Tanker (Butterscotch)
#18E - Field Car (Green hubs)
#26B - Concrete Truck (Gray Barrel)
#27A - Bedford Low Loader (Blue)
#39A - Ford Zodiac Convertible (Tan interior)
#41B - D Type Jaguar (Red Hubs)
#41C - Ford GT (Red Hubs)
#50A - Commer Pick Up (Red & white)
#52A - Maserati 4CLT (Red with wire wheels)
#71C - Ford Wrecker (Amber windows)

I know a lot of these will set me back a few dollars but if you know of one for sale in high grade and from a reputable person/dealer, please let know. You can see a few of the models from the list in the "Look at what I just got" forum area. The #75 Ferrari Berlinetta is my favorite of the lot so far. Just a stunning model.

Thanks in advance, John
