Several of the replies to the last few notes have mentioned 'Corgi' and 'Dinky' cars that noters used to own, and as I recently got mine down from the loft, I thought I'd list what I've got. Anyone else? Lamborghini Merzal Dinky Ferrari Dino Corgi Alfa Romeo p33 Dinky Ford GT 40 Dinky Mercedes C11 gull wing Dinky De Tomaso Panterra Corgi Porsche 969 Corgi Ferrari 'American' Dinky Alfa Pininfarina proto Corgi Citroen Maserati SM Corgi 'Roger Clark' Mk1 3lt Capri Corgi 'Andrew Cowan'Mk1 rally Hunter Corgi Mini Marcos Corgi Cortina MkIII GXL 'Graham Hill' Corgi Rolls Royce Silver Shadow Dinky Rolls Royce Silver Shadow Corgi Bentley (same shell as above) Corgi Rover 2000 P6 Corgi BMW 2002 Dinky Mercedes 200 Dinky Bond Bug Corgi 'BSM' Austin Cambridge Corgi Police set: MkII Zodiac, Mk1 Mini, Mk1 Transit LWB, Mk1 Escort Models of Yesteryear: complete 1968 set inc boxes and....The SPV (Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle)

I am at present , still expanding my collection of model/toy
Volkswagons, the old air-cooled type.
I currently have about 27 or so models, 20 of which are Beetles.
6 campers, and one PORSCHE 935 speedster(1958 type)
They range from 11mm long, to 10 inches long, Made from various
materials,
Some are; a tin friction model, a 4wd electric "monster
beetle",convertables, a beetle wax candle, and a set of 5 VW campers
made from Chocolate.(used to be 10, but I ate the other set)
If anyone out there has any old Beetle models they know of, or don't
want then give me a ring... please!

| 696.9 | How about a 4 door 917 as well! | CURRNT::SAXBY | Isn't it 5.30 yet? | Tue Jan 16 1990 16:41 | 10 |
A PORSCHE 935 Speedster!!! WOW! (and 20 years before the 935 they
raced at Le Mans too!). :^)
Sorry, couldn't resist it! :^)
I think you probably mean a 356 speedster (I hope I don't get ripped
to shreds for being wrong now!).

While we're on the subject of silly things such as toy cars, does
anyone have an address or phone number of these places often mentioned
(in car mags) which provide spares to recondition old Corgi/Dinky/etc
cars?
I'm especially interested in Corgi parts. I've a 3 wheeled Mini-Marcos,
a Batmobile without the Dynamic Duo and a P6 Rover with a missing spare
wheel carrier cover (and wheel).
Any pointers gratefully received.

In Weymouth, at brewers quay, there is a small "model" shop. He
seems to have loads of dinky/corgi parts. You could try him. Sorry
don't know the full name/address

Grab a few back copies of Practical Classics.... they run a regular
feature on model cars and toys and you're bound to get some addresses
of repairers/renovators/sources of bits in that.
