@michaelweizer77945 жыл бұрын
Great video! Pink floyd and matchbox all in beautiful condition . However when I look at some of these wonderful little cars and trucks it sometimes makes me a little sad because I had many of these when I was younger and I wrecked quite a few and now though I have a very substantial collection of die cast and model cars, i still haven't forgiven myself for what I lost way back when. I have been able to find a few of those cars in the video though!

The best toys ever being in history when they were made in uk .
TONS of long,long gone(I'm 60) old friends on display here. Takes me back. There was a hardware store in my old neighborhood(I'm still living very close to the area) and it sold Matchbox vehicles for 50 cents. They had a display case you could turn with the actual toys for sale safely behind the counter(an older,not very trusting husband and wife;the wife followed EVERYONE around the store). I can still see the boxes. Late 60s and early 70s. I also remember a display of DINKY TOYS at the Eaton's(I'm Canadian) department store in the Halifax Shopping Centre and another one in a drugstore at the same mall. I came to like HOT WHEELS too, but the UK made diecasts were better made,no wobbly wheels and more realistic looking.

Hi there, can I ask you something?, well I’ve restored a “Matchbox” dump truck and a little bit of debate going on if this is a Matchbox or it is not. I couldn’t find any reference online so I thought I ask an expert like you. Please have look this video and tell me if you can what it is? The name of this video is “Matchbox Dump Truck Restoration Comedy” The tires stamped matchbox and also in the bottom part stamped Matchbox made in Korea you can see it at around 8.25 min, nice collection you have here. Thanks in advance.

Didn't have many DINKY TOYS but did have an Oldsmobile and Lady Penelope's Rolls from that THUNDERBIRDS show. I remember fruitlessly looking for it at my folks' place in the early 90s knowing full well that my Mom had likely tossed it many years previous. Moms will do that. lol.

I had most of those as a kid. Still have some in the loft, including a gold Landrover safari and the horsebox it has always had with it, a Rangerover. , a few Capris, Escort mk2's a DAF car transporter, Scammel container truck and a Scammel box wagon. Layland flatbed. A SAAB Sonnet. SAAB 9000. A bin wagon, a Stalwart and a few others. May even still have the road roller too. The one I wish I still had must have been a factory reject or something. The BP towtruck, one of the ones I had had a green cab and yellow back. Oddly enough with real cars I have owned they are mirrored by the toy cars I had. Have owned Landrovers, a Rangerover, Capris, Escort nk2. And have had quite a few Saabs, in fact I still drive a SAAB.
