Some models and die cast I found while clearing out

[Spanglepants]

Been going through the house just generally clearing out and started finding my old models and die cast cars so thought id put them up here.
First, heres some cars i bought in Canada years ago







Some Matchbox and Dinky from early 70s

3 Tamiya bike kits, the Suzukis are re-issues but the Yam is an original 80s kit I had these kits back on first release and still cant decide whether to assemble them

[Spanglepants]

Lastly for now - haven't gone through the loft yet some die cast
These have couple parts missing, mirrors etc , my sons were young and inquisitive at the time, I'm sure others have had the same

IIRC this is a dealer issue BMW

I had one of the Joe 90 cars - great memories coming back

That guy's name is "Hy Gear".

Brother to Red Catchup, Hot Rodney, and Myles Ahead.

I'm off to google them, see if I had those as well

[Spanglepants]

Nope don't remember those
Had a Golden Jacks Mini Marcos and quite a few hot wheels sized cars that you put a key into the underneath , turned it and the black plastic chassis with wheels came off, I'll see if I can find out what they were called.

They were called Corgi Rockets, had quite a few of them including this one



Anyone else remember these, they were out in 1970

Love the Datsun 128X (yellow one in the first group photo), had that when I was a kid, still in a box at my parents.
They had an article about the real thing in a magazine (maybe Octane) a while back - if I remember right it never made it past prototype stage.

Oh yes! Had a white Capri with a black bonnet stripe! The chassis came off, & had a rubbish tow hook! (or did I dream that...?)

I'm not sure, this is written underneath but I can't make out what it says?

They made a lot of Dealer Edition models back in the day.

My 1/24 E38 7 Series is white with a rather garish blue interior!

Pictured with its larger 1/18 cousin (made by Otto Mobile)
