Loving the vdub. I want one but im banned from aircooled and anything else old lol

 

 

 

lovely lookin bug & as for the RC will let you know how it drives when it arrives

 

 

The bug is long gone. A few years after that picture was taken the exhaust valve on cylinder 3 started to go, I put it in the garage saying I will do it one day. Five years later I sold it to a scrappy when I moved house. It was only a 1973 1200, so not that desirable.

 

It's still on the DVLA data base

Poor bug!lol

Here's this months latest editions to my collection.

 

 

First is a bunch of 1/36 scale Corgi Minis from the early 1990s, including an After Eight, a Mayfair and two Citys. The After Eight was a limited edition Mini which was sold in France in 1991.

 

 

 

Then there's three Italian Job Minis in 1/36 scale with the gold bars. The white one is a Collect 2000 limited edition. As these are held with wires in the boxes I left them in there as it's a pain putting them back.

 

 

Then we have two older Vitesse model, a Levis Mini and an 1100 Special.

 

 

 

Next is a Classic Sports Cars Mk3 Cooper S with a little paint blemish on the bonnet.

 

 

A Vanguards Cooper

 

 

And finally a 1970s Mebetoys Innocenti Mini 90L

Got a copy of this, published in the 1960's

Love your collection. I have an original man for the surf mini here somewhere if you dont already have one.

Thanks for the offer by the surfer was asleep in the box when I took the picture. I've got another unboxed example as well. I am looking for one with the cast hubs, around 1 in 10 have them. Toymart had one for sale recently but I missed it in the end.
