I am now making available for sale my whole Foden collection built up and constantly upgraded over the last 25 years. This is a very scarce early issue dark grey 1st cab Foden Wagon with a red chassis and red ridged wheels and cab side flashes. This was the last colour run for this first phase of production for 1st cab wagons and would usually have no mount block for a rear tow hook and no tank slots which were both not introduced until October 1948. However a few examples at the end of this first production phase received the mount block and a small unpainted hook and this is why this model is particularly scarce. It also helps to confirm some of the known date changes of the parts. It continues to have no casting support for the chain posts underneath as this was not introduced until January 1952. There is a spare tyre mounted to the chassis by a correct silver nut and bolt. Please note that a black nut and bolt were not issued for any 1st cab model. Finally as an early release it has the black herringbone original tyres which are now hardened but have no flats and a full '20mph' transfer on the rear left wheel arch.

One of 12 variations available from my personal collection. This is a scarce version only issued immediately post war for one year only of this Fraser Nash sports car. It comes in royal blue with a blue interior, black smooth wheels & tyres, a clear windscreen (now broken-base inside), a solid steering wheel and a lacquered smooth shiny base plate with domed rivets. There is no box as this model is sold from a shop-keepers box of six models.

This is one of the three known rare colours of the South African Dinky Ford Fairlane finished in a stunning blue shade a typical SA colour used for further models such as the MGB and Austin Healey Sprite. This is one of the very best of my South African collection  this example finished with closed front windows with a light grey interior, a black gloss base numbered 148, white 'M' tyres over silver spun shaped wheels. Interestingly the other SA example I have in lilac has open front windows and a base with no number cast. Fully light tested for any obvious touch ups. None identified. A rare model and great investment piece. South African Dinky are rising strongly in the marketplace. Available for sale from my own long standing personal Dinky collection.

A scarce variation. This example has a red cab with windows and a cream back with red plastic wheels. Note the radiator is silver not black and the base plate has the last issue black matt base. Very scarce. Nice bobbly tyres complete.

Announcing a "Diecast Gem" American classic in all over cream with green ridged wheels. This is a very scarce US Export. The base plate has an open towing cut out. Never an easy model to find in any condition. It comes Unboxed as sold from a shop keepers box of six models. This model became one of six American classic cars, affectionately known as the 39 series. The Chrysler was original launched in the pre war period 1939 alongside the other 5 models and eventually came to the end of its life in 1952. In 1950 each model was given special liveries for the US export market and three of these models were painted in two tones including the Chrysler. The US exports have become particularly sought after and when in really good condition fetch a premium. This model is one of those. Very rare. It would be hard to find a better model. Museum quality.
