We returned to our old Sunday car boot haunt at Thorpe Arch in Wetherby after what was probably a six month gap.
The Missus did well with a sackful of dolls but I struggled, eventually buying a small mixed box of violin fittings for future sale. Oh, and another Sunny Smile Action Man Jeep.
I passed on two things of note.
The Ajax style Okay Adventure Album. I thought wed seen all of the covers featuring Pyro spaceships but I'm not sure we've seen this one on MC. Is that a Pyro in the top right corner? What a cover!
I also handled a toy car from 1989. Grey plastic with black wheels and very UFO. There was a white stripe on top and a word, which I can't recall. It reminded me a lot of time new UFO toy cars like this, just smoother, with no detailing at all, almost like solid rubber or even wood. Ring any bells?
The name of the brand on the car wheels gives it away. It's the Playforever UFO Cannone. One of a series of toy cars based on the Countach along with other concept cars of the 70s, made by Playforever in the UK. Still available to buy today for around £45. Made of ABS plastic and rubber wheels.
