Picked these up recently,4 more for my never ending collection......

Metallic yellow Citroen Safari is mega rare with Juniors sticker baseplate and Ironside blister pack isnt common either,nice to see such rare gems!

Hello SMS88, I had the Ironside Van when it was first launched and of course it was played with, but I used to play with them very carefully so while they were removed from blister card, the models were still in mint condition and because I used to look after my toys, my father would treat me every weekend to another new toy from the big 'CO-OP' Superstore we had in our town at the time.

In the mid 1980's, I was a trader at toy fairs and I sold the model (my beloved Ironside Van for £25!), Wow I thought, this is it, I've hit the big-time!

I was not aware at that time, that the model would be so sought-after, now of course, I wish I still had it...

£25 mid eightees was a nice wad to have in your back pocket back then Ghosty!!!

Yeh!, it was, I've got about 13p left, when that's gone, I'm broke, but it lasted well, I like to be thrifty with my money!

Don't worry, I hear that Marmaduke has a couple of gold crowns! You could easily extract them and pawn then for £50. That should cover breakfast at the Dorchester tomorrow!!

OH! that's a good idea.................Marmaduke.....come here at once................

Its not easy to get £25 for a mint loose Ironside van today,I have a spare one that I would be pleased to get £25 for!
