i also found this on ebay and naturally had to get it. it is a 1960's japanese tin plate wind up mini , the company is yonezawa this is in immaculate condition and i was the only person interested on the bidding as it only made £17 i was thrilled it winds up and works in full perfect order and the round edges on the key to wind it up acts as a turner, so when that goes a half turn the car will drive and then turn 90 degrees and continue it really is amazing i would love to know where its been how did it get to england and who had played with it ...or not played with it as its in brilliant condition. anyway heres the pics

Right as promised here's my new Mini stuff.
My Siku Mini "Pizza Delivery" edition


Then my DINKY Matchbox Austin Cooper S with red interior



My dad got me this Corgi model that for spme reason has the logo printed upside down



Got these Italian Job styled M&S Minis the other day




Whilst on holiday with my girlfriend this year in Mallorca, we went into a little gift shop and I saw this in the corner ;)

It's crudely made but looks pretty cool, they had all other cars made like this like the 2cv, Beetle and VW Splitscreen bus


But best of all, my favourite find that caught my eye tucked neatly away on the shop floor was this


Doesn't look like much, but it's actually Holographic, got a really cool 3D effect on it! Just need to clean out my garage to hang it proudly :)

That's it for now got loads more to take pics of lol

Thanks Ashley! I love that Japanese tin model you have, such a rare find! Haha my dad didnt even know about that until I showed him. Yeah I quite like that Mallorca Mini, is quite delicate so I had to wrap it in many towels in my suitcase

This is the latest addition to my collection, the Austin Beach Car from Spark. The actual car was found in a scrap yard a couple of years ago and is nearing a complete restoration in Greece. See this thread for details
