 From my childhood. I start off with the XZ lasertron, part of the planetron series by Corgi. My nan gave me this when I was about 4.   Next is this little hotrod thingy, don't remember where it came from but its made by buddy L (japan)  Next is this Matchbox "superfast" mini articulated truck, I had this when I was very little  This is one of two, I don't have the jerry vehicle, got it off a mate when I was tiny, made 1971-72  Ford D 800 truck by Dinkey/Meccano, this came as a kit and you had to assemble it, I have vague memories of my dad making it up for me.  Now boarding the k-22 SRNG Hovercraft for the Calais - Ramsgate crossing, Its soo cool, when you push it along the prop and radar thing go round.   Retro Ooof. 1983 Zakspeed Mustang     more ooof A pickup truck that used to have a motorcycle in the back.  Cue hill street blues theme.  1975 Britains farm toys UNIMOG Recovery truck.  Majorette Renault tractor unit. I got this on holiday in france when I was about 8  Another recovery truck, wacking great Peterbuilt, 1978    And finally a couple of classics. 1937 Mercedes Benz 540 K  One of my all time favorites, 1931 Stutz bearcat  Hope you like, add your own favorites.

I have the britains unimog, but its missing the recovery parts. used to have a number of the ones you have, but I smashed them up to make a scrapyard when I was young.   i also had some buddy L construction toys, which consisted of a couple of dumper trucks and a road grader. i donated them to a blue peter bring and buy sale we had at junior school.  |

I used to have one of those Peterbuilt recovery trucks years ago, except the crane jibs were missing. Always wondered what it was supposed to look like Found it at a car boot sale iirc, think one of the wheels had been melted. Wonder where it is now. Thanks for sharing! |
