I am thinking of buying one now.
Probably a vanguard one though to match my Austin Princess!

The ones to look for are the Blaze ones with the black interior/silver steering wheel - Leyland pre-production models for salesmen.... like rockin' 'orse poo!
And yes, I do have one!

8) I just love these, i have been collecting them for years now and have about 10, they often come up cheap in a used or tatty state, so you can pull them apart and respray them in whatever colour you want
, i reckon i now have one of every mk1 colour they made the Marina in now, they look great all together with the Vanguards ones, sorry i know it`s a bit sad really..but who cares ay!!

I'll take a picture of my "toy cupboard" and you will see how sad I am!
For me it's a case of what I had as a child that survived and what real cars I can't afford to buy now!
My favourite toy is my Lancia Stratos. My lottery win car!
Ah, new thread topic!
