I liked this little lot I saw on auction a while back. A large LP style spaceman, an LP Explorer Car box and what I first thought was a small space tractor but its probably a standard construction site one.
The small red and green vehicle in front looks like a plastic (?) copy of the Matchbox Muir Hill Site Dumper from the 1950s. I will see if I can dig up a couple of photos.
The dumper is a Blue Box one, a company who happily copied Matchbox wih casual abandon. The box is wonderful and the same as I got my space vehicles in the sixties, while on holiday in Wales. The bagged versions are currently on ebay. The spaceman is the type that came with a simple parachute. Bill
