How much would the #7 or #8 'Ford' EsCos's be?

[Mike Random]

I would also say #8 but somebody did ask before me,

Out of interest what cars are hidden?

Cheers

I want that HWE F430 Scuderia.

Strange how that model and some others are never seen for sale.

My HWE 288 gto is a personal fav and again never seen for sale.

Another #8 Ford-liveried car, Yacco one, another Michelin one and the Delecour car with spotlights. I bought this as a job lot from someone as it contained those cars that I didn't have. The guy bought these all from new himself, I think you can see a price sticker on one of them which is either £19.99 or £29.99!

I have got quite a few (55-ish) in my own collection which I need to tidy up a bit before I post it in here!

I'm thinking £85 each + £10 P+P for the rally cars & the black road car £30 + £10 P+P? As it happens I have a black Sierra Cosworth road car too if that's of interest?

here is some of mine...

[TankRS]

great topic!

Have been an avid collector since my teens. (31 now). don't have quite the extensive collection I once had parents house got burgled years ago and they even took some the diecasts!! had some now very rare stuff back then too that sadly seems to be irreplaceable. unless I want to pay silly money on the bay for them! cant re stock the collection these days as the price seems to have rocketed over the last few years. Autoart especially! I begrudge paying over £50 for a model that has no opening parts!


excuse the phone pic quality, cant find the camera

Sagaris is by Revel I think and the Speed 12 is by Hotwheels I think.

I'm not 100% sure on that though as it's been years since i've actually seen either of them !!
