Things I Kept.
Things I Kept.
Hello Antonin in my earlier days I too collected Corgi and Dinky, but I let a lot go to finance my Matchbox 1-75 collection.
But I did keep a few things back among them are these ones.
I also kept my Noddy models and my Batman Models, and of course my Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Re: Things I Kept.
George, the first Two will pay you back handsomely, they are true investment purchases, you will never see the 'Magic Roundabout' set for less than £1.000 boxed!

Re: Things I Kept.
I can see why you kept these! The rally set is superb with its display plinth, and I just love the Magic Roundabout.
Re: Things I Kept.
These are all beautiful! The Magic Roundabout set is fantastic, as is the Monte-Carlo set. It's hard to believe that this 3-car set had the exact same price as the Corgi Classics Silver Ghost when new. And today you can get a MIB Silver Ghost for £20 and the Monte-Carlo set goes for £1,000 to £2,000 ... 
I have just noticed an interesting variation of your Aston Martins: The DB6 that's standing on the corner of the Octopussy set has clear windows. I think that's the earlier 1001 (with the larger wheels) which normally only come with blue tinted windows. I had never seen one with clear windows until an ebay listing last week, and now there is another!
