Thank you both, the great thing with these models is that there is always a model which comes up which I haven't seen although I am getting close to owning most of what they made , I know of a Bedford CA Romany , I have only seen it in a magazine .
With Rollerman's knowledge and my models hopefully this topic has made a wealth of information on these great models, as I said in the introduction, I used to get comments passed at toy fairs in the early days how these would never become desirable but out of my wide collection of toy cars, along with the Triang 1/20's these are my favourite models , I began seriously collecting these in the late 80's and continue to now although the prices are now high.

Yes, prices are high on most toys even when they are now worth it. Too many people thinking they have something special when they don't. They ask really high prices and no one buys. Desirable models will always command a high price but so go way to far.
Beautiful collection you have and you should be very proud. Wonder what the people who used to tell you that they would never become desirable would think now a days?

Not sure what they would think now as people have their own views , I never thought that when I started looking for these models that I would get the collection I have now , one day I will set them all out to show the whole lot , all makes, together but that will have to be one day when I have nothing else going on

I have pictured all my Telsalda Ford Corsairs together , the rarest I believe is the one with the different roof racks with a rowing boat , also the Grand Prix & Monte Carlo ones , the early box & later boxed ones shown & the Clifford version , I doubt if you will see these altogether anywhere else but someone out there may have a collection.

These are so nice Andy, you can see the joy you had displaying them for us in the photos!

Very nice to see all these together. One thing I did notice is that the boat motors match the trailer color. Easy to know what trailer goes with what boat that way. These are something you are obviously proud of and for good reason. They are really beautiful works of a day long gone.

<p>Many thanks, it took me a while to sort out where I had stored some of these models , I did enjoy putting these all together , they are really nice models which were seen as cheap toys back in the day and disregarded as being collectable . I am not sure of other collections of these as we have had a few models shown on here , I know mine has really grown now and I am forgetting that I have certain models.</p>
<p>With regards the colour of the trailer they normally matched the colour of the car in the set , the white Corsair with roof rack started my hunt for these models off, I bought this from Sierra1 in the  early days when I first met him, I bought the box with only the boat and trailer hence the different colours , if you look at the blue Corsair blue trailer blue car , the same with the Cortina in previous post white car white trailer , I am sure Rollerman will correct me if I am wrong.</p>

Thanks for that info. Makes sense. I see you have a couple green cars, one with a boat on top and one with a roof rack. From what you just said, the boat with green motor and green trailer should not be with the White car it is behind now.

I forgot to mention, Nobleco you have pointed out what I didn't realise that is the outboard motors match the car colour too.

Glad I could be of help. I have learned a lot about these toys from your posts so I am glad that you learned from me.

I bought a couple of incomplete Lincoln International Minis this week , with one of them came a Maks Routemaster bus, I will put the Minis in the next story.
I looked at the bus this morning and thought this is saveable , I will do the destination signs late as my daughter works her magic on the computer.
This bus is quite a nice model.

I googled this bus and it is hard to find , I could see a red surround on the destination and part of a "Y" so as the smaller one has Toy Land I guessed it was that , then I saw a mint boxed one on Ebay so here it is

Wonderful save with the plastic floor on the entry. Your daughter does great work on those stickers and that completes the bus. Congrats of finding a rare one.

Thanks Nobleco, this one will be of interest to Routemaster, I will see if I can replace the two handrails missing from the deck but that will be another time.
With regards the Lincoln International that came with it, I managed to get another between the two I have managed to complete the RAC & AA vans I bought some time ago I completed these as they are rarer than the saloons & I now have a saloon to complete in time.

That little AA Service van looks out of scale next to the Mini Countryman cars.
