My cars and other vehicles

[McColm]

Whilst the Ford Capri has it's own page, I thought about grouping my vehicle builds, toy cars and diecast models.
In my day I had Dinky, Corgi and Matchbox diecast model cars to play with, as my stepdad would bring home a new model nearly every week. They ended up down the sofa or back in the box and put on a high shelf where I couldn't reach them. I wish that I had kept them as they would be worth a small fortune but alas they were put into the local jumble sales and never seen again.
This will be an ongoing process

Do you restore or leave the diecast model cars in the state that you bought them playworn?
Some could be sentimental so they are best left alone whilst others could do with a new paint job.
The first nine are a mixture of real and whiffery, so in no particular order they are:

Dinky Toys Meccano Ltd Austin 1300 171 in a metallic blue, the bonnet/hood opens and the engine hasn't been tampered with, the boot/trunk opens as well. It has rubber tyres.
This will be left as it reminds me of the 2200cc that my stepdad used to have.
