This special collection of model cars was built up by myself around 15 years ago when I was a regular visitor to my local toy fair with grandad. These mean a lot to me but unfortunately, I've decided that now is the time to part with them because they have been stored away ever since I redecorated my bedroom which these were on display in. As i got older, my interests changed & although i still love my cars, its the real ones & when I decorated my bedroom which these were on display in, they were put away into a wardrobe & i believe a collection like this should be on show & I would rather someone else got the pleasure of them.
They are being described as used because all of them have been out of other boxes when on display. Most of them are in a good-excellent condition but there maybe a few cosmetic blemishes or hairline scratches & dust. The 1928 Red Mercedes Benz SSK has a broken mirror on the drivers side & the 1994 Blue Porsche Carrera 911 has a broken windscreen with only half remaining. The Aston Martin has a windscreen wiper missing but the Elvis Cadillac is probably the worst out of all of them with both wing mirrors missing & some glue on the area when they was trying to be replaced. To an experienced collector these maybe repairable. Regarding the boxes, all the ones you can see in the main picture are included but the ones without I have been unable to find as they have been stored in the loft. Some of these have seen better days with the clear plastic coming away on a few. These can probably be glued & I did try myself but it didn't take.
I hope I have given all the information required but if you do have any questions then please don't hesitate getting in touch.
Apologies for the quality of the photographs but they was taken with my tablet which isn't that brilliant.
Thank you & Happy Bidding :-)
