The back wheel looks dot/dash on closer inspection. The front i recon is a 5 slot hub.nearlymint wrote:Some great models Alex, love the grey base models. Whats your take on those Merc wheels, are they dot-dash wheels?

Re: MOTORMANS FINDS
I couldn't walk past these Lone Star buggies fot £8 the lot at Falkirk last week. I dont know much about them other than it looks like they were for a promotion. I am not sure of the year of issue either. All were in a plain box each with the leaflet shown.
I would love more info.

Re: MOTORMANS FINDS
They were a promotion in the late 1960s/early 1970s fora brand of squash. I can't for the life of me remember the name (I think it was something like Sunkrush or Kia Ora), but the bottles had a promotional paper collar with a form you had to fill in and then send off with a given number of bottle labels (remember filling empty bottles with water and the soaking them in the sink until the label came off?) in order to receive one of the models through the post (in one of those little cardboard boxes).motorman wrote:I couldn't walk past these Lone Star buggies fot £8 the lot at Falkirk last week.

I have happy memories of completely dismantling these and then rebuilding them - an engineer even then! (BTW, the difference between an engineer and mere mortals is that anyone can take something apart, but it takes an engineer to put it back together again so it works!)
