My parents are having a bit of a clear out and so I collected my old toybox on the weekend. My grandfather made it when I was born (1969) and when my dad competed or spectated at an event, he brought back stickers. I stuck them on my toybox. When I was a bit older, I did the same, they have mostly survived the last 35-40ish years pretty well.

Nostalgic. Thanks for posting. Those Castrol logos take me back to my early childhood "helping" my uncle tinker with his Ford Escort in a cold Asbestos garage.

Good find, I like the Durex Lola, did that stand for "Long Lasting" ?

That is pretty cool!

The guys on Retro-Rides would love that.

Cheers, my favourite is the James Hunt one "the world champion drives a Vauxhall". Can you imagine Lewis Hamilton (or any of the others to be fair) advertising like that?

Fantastic keep-sake. I wish I had a "sad" enough life to have such a memento.

It's very cool, and a lovely thing.

And you sir are a bit of a plonker.

Correct, I see your initials are CT, pity you missed out the UN.

Thanks for calling me an idiot, right back at you.

Very cool.

I think I even had some of those stickers from motorshows. They don't seem to be handed out like that nowadays.

Have you got an Evel Knievel stunt bike in there too?
