barn find models, 60s/70s
Discussion
I had to clear out a derelict house on the land I work, I found a box of old cars. Havent got a clue if they're worth anything or if they're rubbish. I've only really looked at ones that are complete although there is a Corgi rolls royce without wheels that I havn't a clue what it would've been.
Most have no date stamp and are a mix of Italian and British brands, but seem to have features and details far exceeding what i've seen from Corgi etc.

Great info thanks! The renault has the wheel operated seats yes. The matchbox and corgi I had in the 90s really lack detail compared to these older models. Most have very flakey paint from those hot italian summers although the beige alfa, bond bug, le mans spright and mustang have the best paint. The f1 cars all have fairly grubby stickers up close especially the big lotus. The thing that most interested me is the lever mechanism on the 'axels' of the rolls royce and the details like dash sticker and gold steering wheel. Was it part of a different series like vanguards is now?
