We must have caught the same boat Richard.

It is only a little over a month since Christmas mass spending so lots of us have big bills to pay off. Happens every year about this time and I can see the drop in my eBay shop too.


I have just bought two 1:43 Altya/Norev Dioramas with cars. One is a Peugeot 203 and the other is a Citroen Traction. Both have figures and a couple props. Peugeot is a breakdown on the side of the road, girl watching Hubby of boyfriend replace a flat tire and the Citroen is at a gas station with pumps and attendant. Hoping to put other cars in the scenes for pictures.


Coming from Germany at $20 each and $14.50 shipping to fair price, I would say.


Add says, Made by Norev for Altaya

on the one hand, yes, I want to have the plastic base Morris Minors made by the other company that is not Corgi.

That this van wasn't a Corgi concept is really interesting. its a patent Corgi bought, as well as the tooling.

Its been confirmed they do exist. There are a few left and ironically in Holland. Ironic because it was in Holland where I found one... and kicking myself for not buying it at that time.

The history of this particular Corgi has made a bizarre turn.

The Corgi that isn't...

and a little over a year later... GOT IT


$35 bargain.


One more to go.


currently trying to locate some old posts.

Good find ; use the Forum search option on the left to find old posts , works very well !!

Having a little problem with my pc where I have to bypass the easy short cuts.

I often use the forum search.

That was the problem
