What's your most valuable banger and what did you pay for it? Where did you find it? Was it one of those under the table specials?
Here's mine. Cost me $5 for five Matchbox cars off our local auction site.

All mine are bangers. Here's one, the good thing is the windows are mainly intact and the hitch is still there :lol: This came from Germany in a sammlung, it was tucked away at the back and I think the cost was around £10 for 20 models but it was some years ago so not 100% sure.

This may not really be a banger, but its the rarest model in my collection. I paid nearly 60 Euro for it on ebay, where it was badly photographed - only on close inspection one could guess, that its a 10 wheeler.

I don´t care about the money i paid for it. I wanted it and i got it. But just for curiousity - whats the worth of it in this condition?

A lot of mine are, too, and none are particularly valuable.

There is no value in Euros Roland.
For me it is valuable because:
- it is the only Chevy Impala 57b I own.
- because it is not listed (please have a look her: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3768&p=40486&hilit=chevrolet#p40486)
