Hi all,Won this last night, hoping it's real, if it is it fills a major gap in my collection, and I don't care at all if it's a bit battered! s276.photobucket.com/user/starni999/medi...zps29c82389.jpg.html ]

Hi Dave,
Been on my wants list since I actually sat down to write one in 1990,
so not too bad...........Funny but in the last 12 months I ' ve picked up the Sweeteners tanker,
and now this one that have been sitting on my list for over two decades.Wonders of the internet I suppose,
all those years ago if it wasn ' t at a Toyfair there was very little chance of me getting one.Chris Warr.

Hi Chris I think this is one of the lovely aspects of collecting,
you will eventually find the one you want,
sometimes
after
a long wait.I totally agree about the internet,
swapmeets were all we had when I started collecting but now the whole world is available.The problem is that you can spend your money much quicker ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Dave

If it weren ' t for the internet,
I would only have about 1 / 2 of my Dinky collection.I live in California,
and there are very few toys fairs,
and virtually no shops selling vintage toys.I often wish I could come
and travel to Britain for 6 months
and sample some of your toy fairs
and shops that we keep hearing about ! Terry

Jan ---That is crazy....they must be pretty rare. That one is only maybe 'good' or 'fair'...can't imagine what a mint one would go for! Terry
