Another Auction find, Corgi set containing Mini Open Classic, Advantage and original Mini Sprite

I like them

And this 1992 Classic Car Show edition with unapplied decals.

I actually bought this model from the '92 NEC Classic Car Show, it cost me £8 at the time. Seen them sell for £50 with unapplied stickers. Mine also has unapplied stickers and an Official Matchbox ink stamp on the back of the inner card platform.

I got mine with a Triumph Stag from the same show for £25. I've sold the Triumph so I got the Mini for nothing.

Those Minis on the wall paper look like Stewart and Arden Sprints

[lulu85ritz]

They could be! They were proper minis before but changed them and i didn't realise until i put it up!

I cut them out and stuck them on the wall in our old place see the difference!

I picked up a couple more at a toy fair today.



First up is a Vanguards model of the Austin Cooper that appeared in the first sales brochure back in 1961



Next is an IXO Royal Mail van



and then an Altaya/IXO diorama of a van with a French beekeeper collecting honey from a hive



I also picked up a cheap repainted Carrimore Transporter to display some of my old Corgis on







And finally I had a bit of luck on Ebay this morning and won this lot

I'm hoping the yellow one is one of these without the stickers.



As soon as it arrives I will get it checked out and post some pictures up.
