Sunday antiques fair find

Picked these up Sunday,brand new ex shop stock the cars have never been played with,the women I bought them off said she had just acquired them from an elderly chap who had bought them years ago and keep them in a cabinet.
Nice and small and don,t take up much space in the cabinet,already have a few actually really like the artwork on the boxes too

They take me back! Pocket money toys and made in England. They make me feel happy and sad at the same time. We loved them, we bought them, the toy companies got greedy and what's today's pocket money equivalent? Made in China from the pound shop.

Cheers mate,I think the fire truck may be the star of the find,by the looks of it,it had a short run 6 months it was replaced with another model shortly after.
Yes these were pocket money toys for me too,quality was fantastic when we were on top as a country.
Very sad

very nice mark i remember those well

When I was I child Money was very tight,but always had enough money for a matchbox car on a Saturday afternoon sometimes two my dad always put us first no matter what,the big banger was my first matchbox car so these bring back a lot of memories for me

Nice find.
My Mum used to work there, Lesney's. She used to bring them home.....wish I still had 'em

Mate,I've decided to do the business on these now Ian,just the 2nd issue superfast though,that old collectors disease is taking hold again! Agghhhh
