Die cast cars by Dinky, Corgi, Matchbox etc

I used to have hundreds of these, collected from when I was a kid and more recently. Several ruthless purges at various house moves have whittled in down somewhat but I still have quite a few, many of which I don't really need so when I get time I will add a few at a time here. Condition ranges from mint to restoration project but I will try and give an honest decription although I am no expert! Re paints will probably not have been done by me! Note that cars offered for restoration will be as far as I can tell complete (unless stated) although may be damaged but I would consider them perfectly restorable, incomplete cars will be described as "for spares" although often reproduction parts are available and may well be restorable.Mint will only be used to describe cars bought new by myself and will probably mainly apply to Vanguards etc.

I am more than happy to consider swaps (see Wanted) especially Tri-ang/Hornby etc model railway items/spares/junk etc.

Postage will have to be assessed on an individual basis as some of these are quite heavy.
