Slim Pickings at Leeds' Thorpe Arch boot sale today. It was a complete wash-out.
I did pick up one decent die-cast, a Corgi Rockets Alfa Romeo sand spoiler. 50p poorer and back home I touched it up with a purple sharpie and it ain't half bad. It has some residual decals on it - are they original? Did the Rockets Alfa Romeo have decals?
After filling my cabinets with tons of Superfast I'm now limiting myself to collecting Corgi Rockets and old Hot Wheels in the future. I've run out of space for any others.
In a Wetherby charity shop I went mad and lashed out a fiver on this 1978-1980 Matchbox Play Track, all loose in a placcy bag. I love the spearmint track livery. Having looked online the orange plates make up different levels of a high rise car park.
Anyone know the name of the set in the UK?
The Alfa shouldn't have any decals on it, I'd whip them off with a bit of elbow grease! Are you going to grace it with a new spoiler?
ReplyDeleteIs there another die cast with the same spoiler?
DeleteI don't wanna spoil it! Ha ha
