To fund my vintage VHS needs I've been selling off my old die-casts.
It's been really great fun to collect old toy cars over the last decade, especially the hugely relaxing pastime of cleaning and re-touching them, but I feel I can let most of them go now, except my Hot Wheels and a few specials I'm keeping hold of.
Here's the first of a series of snaps I took of them this week, posting here by way of a farewell to these things, die-cast beauties all.
Did you have any of these?
Just to be pedantic, thats the Fuzz Buggy, not the Bandolero - which was blue with chrome engines! The Fire Chief version of Shovel Nose is the Blaze Trailer. They are fabulous models either way, I got an old shovel nose years ago at Donny toy fair and ruined it, by painting it blue! Might have to re-invest in this lot if theres no other takers! Bill
ReplyDeleteYeah, I love these two similar designs. It does say Bandolero underneath.
