Stuff I want
Here is a list of some of the things I am looking for at the moment,by no means all models, some full size stuff I'm after too!
If there is anything here that you can supply me with please get in touch with as much detail as possible (colour,condition etc) with ideally an idea of how much you want. I am also quite happy (in fact prefer) to swap for anything that you see for sale on the site (bodyshells,kits, Scalextric cars etc) of a similar value or with cash adjustment.
Click on list below or scroll down to see what I am after
Car models
Obvious really, any 1/32nd scale models of older saloon cars, particularly British and especially Triumphs. Airfix of course, plus any plastic kits, Hong Kong etc plastic toy cars, anything considered in any condition, built, broken, left overs from slot conversions, you name it.Also Triumph saloons and Spitfire/GT6 models/toys (not after Vanguards etc) in any scale.
Particularly after the Airfix Morris Marina, or bits there of.
Tri-ang Minix plastic cars (1/76th for model railways) particulary the Austin Cambridge (A60), Ford Thames Van and Vauxhall Victor/Cresta, any condition
Husky (Corgi Juniors) Ford Zephyr Mk3 estate, any condition, missing tailgate OK.
Scalextric and other slot stuff
Just a few things at the moment:-
Might be interested in some Minic Motorways to play about with, cars, chassis etc plus maybe some track but must be cheap!
Model Cars magazine issues (have some swaps)
Models Roads and Raceways magazine issues
Triang Magazine - any issues
Motorcycle models
Any scale, mainly of British bikes but certain older Japanese bikes too. Again any condition.
Particularly
Airfix (or Heller, same kit)1/8th Norton Commando roadster, SS or Hi Rider. Also the airbox parts on their own would complete a model.
Airfix (or Heller, same kit) 1/8th Honda 750/4, also the instructions for the 750/4 racer would be a great help
Airfix 1/12th BSA C15 or parts there of, particulary the transfer sheet,can swap for Ariel Arrow transfers or a good scan would do
Airfix 1/16th Ariel Arrow, or just the handle bars
Protar 1/9th Norton Commando
Protar catalogue 1990? The one with the list of every bike kit they ever made in.
Revell 1/24th BSA A10
Britains bikes, especially the choppers and Triumphs
Pyro/Life Like etc BSA A65 (Lightning Rocket I think they call it), also tyre (rubber),tail light, headlamp lens to complete a model, built kit would be OK if cheap.
Any other obsolete British bike models

- export seat (drop side type if you know what I mean) - must be new or good as

For 1976 Honda CB360(G)
- side panels (same as CB250G5 I believe) green would be nice but any colour

Model Railways
Hornby
Hornby etc OO guage model railways, don't need to be mint, don't mind some fixing up, for my 8 year olds layout, mainly locos, coaches,wagons, DMUs, Inter City 125, points, station platforms etc. Cheaper the better - for playing with, collectors items not required!
Tri-ang, Tri-ang/Hornby
Also some 60s/early 70s Triang, Triang/Hornby, Hornby items for my own nostalgia, mainly BR locos, coaches, DMUs etc, again nothing too expensive, I'm not a collector as such. Non runners, repainted, broken etc all welcome but old track not required!
Some examples, other stuff also required!
CURRENTLY SEEKING
- Any first generation DMUs, Hornby class 110, Hornby/Lima 101 and 121 bubble car, Lima 117, DC kits etc. Preferably in green or blue (rather than blue/grey) liveries but any livery/condition considered.
