Ashley

Sorry Ashley. As it's the only one I have had the chance to buy cheaply it's not for sale (unless, that is, you want to make a stupid offer I can not refuse).

Finally found one!!

Shame I can't afford it

That's over priced by about £20. I would keep it in your watch page and see if it drops in price.

I absolutely love your amazing collection surfblue! I want them!

I'll post some pictures soon of some of the others that I have.

Hi Noah,
This is the book i was on about yesterday these are the shots of the 35 bits (besides second photo which is just showing the booklet)
I see what you mean with the 3 colours not usually a fan of blue but that does look rather nice.

I would say £40-£60 would be a fair price depending on model and box condition. Anything under £30 would be a bargain, but I have seen some of these Tomicas on offer at over £60 when the box is as new.
Unboxed I would say about £10-£20 for one in good condition.

Picked that up a few weeks ago, it's ok but there are quite a few mistakes in it.

[surfblue63]

Here's a few commercials from my collection.

First up is a resin hand built from Italy of a modded Pick-Up






From Britsh Motoring Classic (BMC) is a white metal Wimpey Pick-Up




Also from BMC is a Riley Elf transporter complete with painted body shell




And finally a trio of white metal ice cream vans from BMC including from left to right Tonibell, Mr Softee and Walls.

Unfortunately BMC43 seam to have dissappeared. I picked mine up at a few toy auctions about 4 or 5 years ago. I have never been able to find were they originally came from. The pick-up and ice cream vans look like they are made from a Lansdowne model. The Riley front end is made of resin, the Cooper body is diecast and I think it is a refinished Vanguards body. I have also seen a Mini Transporter with a Cooper Car Company finished shell on the bed. There were price stickers on the boxes when I got them from a company called JM Toys. I've checked there web site and they do not list any BMC43 models now.

That is the latest release of the Vitesse Park Lane I believe.

If you can find a first release from the 90s, you'll find it has the correct interior. They come in square boxes with a small mirror across one corner, differing from your model which came in a rectangular box with a cardboard slip cover

[a_woolhouse]

theres one on ebay and amazon with the right interior but they're £30 with P&P will get the proper one when I have the cash
