I'm hunting for that Mini. Having no luck so far.

Also hunting for the Matchbox BMW 361Ti compact. Matchbox seem to be hard as hell to find in Scotland.
If you get really stuck drop me a line before going on eBay and I’ll chuck it in the post to you for a couple of quid in an air ambulance charity box smile

Thanks chief! The hunt is part of the fun though!

I spent almost a year hunting for the Matchbox Fiesta XR2! Ended up with three.

There were loads of the Morgan. Also quite a few of the BMW 316 in The Entertainer, but I didn't see that someone was after that.

Is anything looking for anything specific?

I'm probably going to have a wee hunt at the weekend.

A few nice pick ups care of HW in Swindon. I have decided to have a side collection of styles of car which my father had - hence the P6, Volvos and Morgan, with classic Austin Mini on the way.

Thanks, HW are great to deal with. Free postage over £50, speedy delivery and he even threw in the box a free car - guess which one?! No connection other than me being a happy regular customer.

Not Hot Wheels and not 1:64 but they don’t really belong anywhere else.

I found a shop in Singapore Airport that had a load of Tomica so I acquired some. They seem to operate a “fit it in the box” method of sizing so the scales are all over the place.

1:55 Honda City Turbo II


1:63 Nissan Stagea


1:60 Honda Ballade Sports CR-X


1:62 Honda Prelude


They are pretty well detailed, but none of them have any side mirrors, which is odd.

Halfords having silently started stocking Hot Wheels, and with loads of 2026 ones. Never sure how rare they are, but got a few this weekend with the kids. 12 Cylindri, Yellow RS6, ID Buzz Surf Van.

Worth a check as they're often hidden somewhere random in the shop.

Apologies, a Kaido House rather a HW, but this is my new favourite casting and paint job. The Larry Chen E30.

Aldi in Strathaven was good to me.

I got the Matchbox Sherp yesterday too. I almost never take them out of the packaging these days; but I had to take the Sherp out and play with it!
