Hello.

My collection has grown by three little cars this morning, which I'm rather excited about. I've got some more on the way too, but they're coming from Germany so might not be until next week when I receive them. None of these are particularly rare (the one on it's way from Germany is though - one recently sold on UK eBay for £78 - I've just paid £15 biggrin).

Anyway, here they are:



The dark red 75 in the foreground is a Schuco model originally sold through Rover / MG dealers only. There are a few other colours in these and I aim on getting them all, but finding them can be a little difficult. The Yellow ZT is a Corgi Vanguards Model - part of the MG Rover collection. And the X-Power Grey ZT is part of the Corgi Modern Motors collection.

I'm looking to complete a full set oh Ph1 75s, ph2 75s and ZTs in all the available colours as well as some older Rovers. Might take a while finding them all, but it's generally inexpensive and they're good models.

I'll put some better pictures up of the cars later when I've had a chance to get some decent ones!

Some more photos of the 75 - crap photos but it seems it is all my phone can muster frown





The Schuco model does seem to be of much much higher quality and detail compared to the Corgis. Even the leather seats inside have the correct pattern etc...

Lovely.

Got a little goodie from Germany today. It's another Copperleaf Red one, but this time with the cream interior. They don't come up very often, especially at good prices like this. It also appears to be in a box that is sealed and unopened (until I got it biggrin)

Some pics:

Will need to double check, but all Vanguards - maroon 1.8 and a yellow ZT.

On dosplay in one of my cases in the garge - a British themed one with some Jags/Austins + Fords.

Cheers
Nick
