Nicholas Martin's website is a brilliant reference source for Budgie, Morestone and Benbros. http://www.diecastvintagetoys.co.uk

I'll look forward to seeing the Budgies. Some of the later ones are surprisingly hard to find.

Hi Gary.

Your yellow upside down trailer when sold with a matching Land Rover is set number 1284 and comes from a range marketed as...Roadmaster Major from 1962 onwards.

The red road roller is number 1502 and comes from a range marketed as...Highway Constructors from 1977 onwards.

The yellow and green artic also comes from the Raodmaster Major range and is number 1292.

You will see from Nicholas Martin's excellent site the Budgie Taxi is initially from 1977 but has a very complicated history which is well worth delving into!

Hope that helps,
Ghosthunter.
