Last weekend I had a bit of a sleep in so didnt make the markets early however I still managed to find 2 sellers with good stuff when I did get out.£35 got me all the cars, the Lego house (plus the rest of a shoebox full of 1960s Lego) and a shoebox full of cowboys n´injuns (Timpos shown in photo).Most of the Lesneys are near mint and the 1/43 are fillers for my collection -particularly pleased with smooth hubs early Corgi FX4. The Impy & 7 Lesneys including the D series are very near mint

Some nice clean Matchbox there and money well spent. I like the Herald Coupe and it's good to see the passengers (& possibly chauffeur?) in the Mercedes 600. A friend of mine had the Herald many moons ago, we all loved messing around in it, it was such a rust bucket though, you could see the road through the floor in many places

OK SMS88,
Sounds like I have that one, the very first issues were in 'pinkier' red than the later issues, thank's for checking the model.

Is the Dinky 186 fintail a repaint or a variant from another market? I'm only familiar with that one in blue (as I have a real car that's a virtual twin).

I really like the knight with no head and 1 leg "It's merely a flesh wound, come back and fight!"

Its a pale blue one that has been brush painted.Dinky also made it in RAF grey and then Nicky toys of India had the tooling and made it in a rainbow of colours!
Timpo swappits are still loads of fun although guns,hats and other hand held parts are always in short supply.The 2 colour moulded vests are very well done.............
