Today Gerrit and me went to the NAMAC fair. Again, it was a great day out and we met lots of likeminded collectors.


Jan Werner was there with his nephew and they had a stall full of nice looking cars.


I came home with the following:

3 Atlas Dinky French series of trucks. Picked them up for a fellow collector who could not make it to the fair



Another person who bought some parts off me, wanted a base for the 965 Euclid. So I bought a scrap 965, dismantled it, removed the paint and sell it on



And finally: 2 cars that I do not collect, but this will become a very special project. That is all I can say about it for now.






 


And I saw some unboxed and mint Tekno VW T1's, which cost 200 euros each. A photo will do in this case, because my pockets are not that deep

Good day out Theo. So did I, because I went there with my cousin, as usual. I found these crappy models, which will be either for spares or to restore. 





My big score was this Auto Pilen Ferrari 512, in state of NEW! The rear engine cover was very stiff, en never opened before.

Hi, yes, Houten was great again today. Fewer visitors in this season, so a much more pleasant atmosphere. Nevertheless, I met so many fellow collectors that I still have a sore throat of talking. No acquisitions today. Instead of that I managed to sell some doubles for which I had found better replacements in the past few months, conform my policy of continuously improving the collection. 


My cousin had very successful sales, returning home with a lot of money and considerably fewer models!

Kind regards, Jan

Very good scores for the both of you.

Again some nice buys & those Tekno's look fantastic.

Great photos and reports, some nice buys and the Teknos look amazing!

The only thing I bought at the NAMAC was a chocolate milkshake, my favorite:





But I met a lot of people from the Namac organization, and volunteered to man a stand of them during a four day fair in September. Of course Jan was there and I met people from other diecast forums. Our German dentist friend who collects front engined race cars and last but not least an old friend with whom I have done a lot of slot racing in the past.

However, the day did not pass without a model car, this one arrived from Canada in the evening. A Matrix Rolls Royce Silver Wraith Empress Line by Hooper. It was offered at a ridiculous low price and quoted as being used. Well the only thing used was the outer box, the model was spotless.
It is a model of the same car which I rented about a month ago with a chauffeur, albeit this one in a different two tone color. Last Saturday my chauffeur was Theo (thanks for that) driving a car which also starts with an R.

Great finds all of you.
