Got to say that Porsche is pretty high on my want list, but I'm refraining from buying any cars until Christmas is over as I don't know what I'm getting. Todays offering... Day 5.  Matchbox 1935 Ford. It's pretty cool, and I've been scouring the supermarkets looking for this model but havn't found one yet. Pretty glad I didn't now! Same here! Seems really hard to locate outside of expensivebay |

Seems really hard to locate outside of expensivebay I asked my kids where it came from, they said it came from a little toy shop in town called The Toy Cupboard. I never look in there personally because I think they charge too much for toys, regular Matchbox, hotwheels, and maisto cars are £3 - £3.50. |

Day 6.  Realtoy Ford Thunderbird. Looks to be a MN12, which is what I used to drive albeit not in racecar trim. |

Day 7.  Racing Champions Mercedes 500SEC. Some of you guys may remember that back in 2015 I had a light goldy-silvery one of these, however, long before I joined the forum I had a darker gold one, so this will most likely get stripped to be re-painted in Spandau Ballet Gold like my first one! |

Would be so cool to have models of all the cars you've owned. So far I've got a number of Minis in various scales and a Matchbox MG 1100 which closely approximates my Wolseley 1300 (it's even near enough to the same colour). Still to go Austin 1300, Mini Clubman or 1275GT (had both), Allegro, Phase One Vanguard, TK Bedford, Holden Gemini, RX30 Cressida, EN1 Civic (got an almost finished 1/20 kit of an EB1 somewhere), XC Falcon wagon, and EA Falcon wagon. The British stuff will be easy and maybe the Japanese cars but I've never seen Falcon wagons as kits or diecasts only sedans. Anyone come across these?

I love that tractor, when I was a kid I had quite a few Britains tractors and farm implements, I wish I still had them. I'd look on fleabay, but I really don't want to start another collection! Would be so cool to have models of all the cars you've owned. I'd quite like to have a 1/64 scale model of every car I've owned, I'm coming up on my 100th car now. Unfortunately, however there seems to be a great many that were never produced as toy cars. I have wondered though how easy it will become to produce a good 3D print of a car that was never produced as a toy. I guess as technology moves on at some point it will be possible. |

Day 8.  Racing Champions Mercedes 500SEC. Now, I think it's only right to forget everything I said yesterday about stripping the silver one and making it gold, It shall be stripped, but it will get a re-paint in a light goldy-silvery colour, whereas this one will get the full on Spandau Ballet gold! |

I think that would be the case for most people on here such is the eclectic mix of vehicles on this forum. I know at Matchbox/Hot Wheels scale most of my cars if not all are not available  Ford Fiesta Mk3 5dr/Citroen Ax GTi/Seat Toledo V5/Volvo T5 Estate/Skoda Octavia RS/Ford Mondeo mk4 Estate/Ford Sport Ka/Peugeot 406 - i did find a Majorette 406 and snapped it up........ OMG just seen the BTCC 850 estate is a Hot Wheels 2020.......when where why how did i not know this.....has anyone seen this yet....I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE  |

Can't help you with most of those skinnylew but I do know that Majorette do a regular Ka if that would be close enough to a sport ka for you?  Funnily enough I thought they also did an Ax, but i can't seem to find one so maybe not. |

Day 10.  a Realtoy Ford Explorer. This looks pretty much new, but as mine was a metallic grey-blue I think this will be another candidate for a re-paint. |
