	I had the Skoda and Astra rally cars, and the Duckams(?) Escort with the tow bar! Two of my all time favourite were made by Majorette; a yellow 2CV van and a green Mercedes with a caravan! Think they may still be at my parents house somewhere, Will need to hunt for them!

Have been desperately trying to get hold of a matchbox Vw camper for a while now. Didnt think to look in Asda. Off to pillage there tomorrow. You get a camper? Was at Tesco tonight and they have exactly the same Samba as the Asda one for 70p. They must both have the same supplier for their own brand stuff. They also do an air cooled Beetle!

That's a tough one, don't think I've seen one if those. You never know though, I never thought I'd find a model of my dads old mk2 cav, especially as it was Orient Blue with front fogs and driving lamps in the grille. One day found a Vanguard which is incredibly close: Exact colour match, just need to modify the grille and wheels etc( my dads was an L not a CD). if only I had some skill!
