I was looking at some old pictures online of Plastic Rolls Royces and other cars.
Then I remembered!
Suitcases in boots!
Blimey, how I loved those little plastic suitcases!
I recall red and yellow ones the most, neatly placed in the back of the car boots. Their was always a satisfactory click when you opened them.
You could even put tiny things in there like small paper messages or Major Matt Mason's screwdriver!
I could easily collect old plastic cars if I had the dosh and re-live those glory days opening the boots!
Do you remember those suitcases? Which cars had them? Any piccies? Did other toys have suitcases like trains and planes maybe?
I've got one! I have an old corgi mgb and that still has it. Will send a photo.
ReplyDeleteTa Kev. Piccy has landed.
DeleteIf your model is missing its suitcases, it would be possible to replace them, as many makers of model railway accessories produce luggage/suitcase sets in various scales. Usually in self-coloured plastic. The only problem being that most are in the smaller scales such as OO (1:76) and HO (1:87). Some doll lines may also include something suitable.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that Paul. Good to know. I also remember plastic doll vanity cases at Christmas for the tree.
