At Christmas I received a fabulous gift of Hot Wheels from my good friend Paul V in Belgium.
A complete surprise here are some of the old die-casts kindly Paul sent me including some Redlines no less!
And so, as the last candles of Christmas finally fade into the New Year my thoughts are turning towards cleaning up these old beauties as best I can, with a cup of tea and a forgotten mince pie.
I still have my white Ford J car from my childhood!
ReplyDeleteThe redline Looey? Send us a snap of that and any other redlines you have!
DeleteA very nice collection. The cream Jaguar XK120, with the number 414 on the side, is a Matchbox model from the 1980s.
ReplyDeleteYes, its a lovely model that Paul. Straight out of the Avengers or some such Sixties TV show!
DeleteHope you'll have fun with them Woodsy! Are you going to open the cards? And I'll be curious to see what you can do with the playworn cars - they're in good hands, I know! :)
ReplyDeleteBest -- Paul
Thanks ever so much for these Paul once more, its been so much fun and still is. one of the remaining three redlines is finished and the final two are on the 'bench'! Happy days! PS. The blisters will stay as they are as they're just beautiful to look at complete and carded like that!
