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!
The classic car movement needs Jeremy Clarkson like Jenson Button needs a towhitch and a Sprite Musketeer....

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 :wink: , 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!! :lol: :lol:

I'll take a picture of my "toy cupboard" and you will see how sad I am! :lol:

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! :lol:

Ah, new thread topic! :lol:
