Hello !

I have spotted a model from an Australian ebay seller.

But he only want a local pick-up.

Please contact me if you could pick-up such a model for me.


Thanks.

Verry pleased for you Stephane he decided to post the Fun Ho! dierct to you.

The little Lone Star is from the Tuf Tots range introduced in 1969. They are quite collectible. There is sadly no Rolls-Royce or Bentley in thes range :cry:

To compete with the Matchbox models Tuf Tots were priced at 1/3d (1 shilling and 3 old pennies) and were considered as pocket money toys aimed directly at children.

I absolutely didn't know them.

They really have play value.
