I guessing Mrs PB think too much PB is not enough lol 😆. Cool cars. I purchased last year a guy childhood cars (24) in matchbox case. He only wanted $20. I live near redcliffe and he was in Ipswich. I trying pick them up like 10pm as I worried someone was going to snipe and offer more money. The guy was happy for them to go to a good home. He had a bit of a tear in his eye, as he handed it to me. I said r U sure mate? I had other guy wot was trying selling his cars at very reasonable price, but low ballers were offering him crap. After talking with him, that I didn't want to resell them. He gave them to me. They rome nice guys out there. Cheers Graham

FB Marketplace is a treacherous hive of villainy and scum-baggery Graham. Why people ask if something is available, told it is and then never respond is beyond me. I could go on forever about it, but won't. Thanks for watching!

@@PBsRetroRestorations lol. I biggest hate. Is they Hammer you down on the price, before coming to look at it. I tell them no more discounts. One guy I messaged three times and told him don't come and try to beat me down some more on the price. He came up from the Gold coast, look at it and started offering less money. I explained that I already gave you a huge discount. He kept going on and on I just closed the gate and told him the piss off. I prefer to sell on eBay.

Can't say I've ever seen a drab green one. Juniors? I don't know, I guess I've always been pro-Matchbox. It might be their fantasy vehicles or something. And some of the later wheels. Thanks for the info on the other cars, I may be asked to restore some of them, we'll see.

3:30 back when designers tended to steal from each other. Wikipedia says the Citroen SM was designed by Robert Opron, apparently BMC and PininFarina liked the design as well. ;) 4:50 as usual the front headlights are missing. I used to have one of these myself and never knew there were headlights right below the nose, as they are almost always broken off... XD 8:55 whee, a Paddy Wagon! I have one in a very good condition... wasn't cheap, tho. 12:18 the Heinkel Kabine are hard to find with all roof beams intact, too. :) haven't seen one in ages... 13:44 I don't recognize the wheel design, but all in all it looks agricultural. maybe it's a Britains trailer missing it's tank? 15:00 yeah, me neither. ;) 20:50 Italdesign-Bizzarini Manta. Italdesigns first design (pun intended), running on a formula-1-chassis made by Bizzarini, hence the central steering wheel. the engine is one of the many Ford DSV Cosworth V-8. how I know? the original was featured in a classic car magazine I read long ago, so I read up on it, it being relevant to my collection of Fords and related. :) owch, that poor Opel really had it bad... interesting time capsule, indeed. usually we only find tidbits as collections are taken apart. this here is somethign special. :)

They are very similar Lothar. The beach buggy would still make a cool custom, but yeah the headlights are the first to go. Then the motor lol.
