WE HAVE CHANGED THE NAME OF THIS SECTION BECAUSE OF PERSISTENT SMART ARSE SPAMMERS PICKING UP ON THE TITLE OF "YOU CAN GET A REAL ONE FOR THIS PRICE", AND SENDING IN IRRELEVANT COMMENTS, AND IT IS GETTING ON OUR WICK, SO CHANGE IT WE HAVE. THE EDITORS 23/11/13.
OUR NORTHERN CORRESPONDENT, JOHN COLVER, HAS BEEN A LITTLE QUIET OF LATE, BUT HAS MADE UP FOR THE PERIOD OF SILENCE WITH AN ARTICLE ABOUT A MODEL………NO, NOT THE SORT THAT SACHAYS DOWN THE CATWALK, THE SORT THAT GROWN-UP SCHOOL BOYS COLLECT !!
John spotted a feature on the local Yorkshire news tv programme, about an auction going on at Harrogate Showground, which featured as the star attraction, a model that looks suspiciously like a Euc R-15, but not your usual Dinky version, this one was by Matchbox, but not the one you know.
Usually, people think of Matchbox Toys as just that, out of a matchbox, but not this one, slightly different scale, and different expected price. in John`s words…….
Now what did it look like, see below……
….and finally, how big was it, Mr Y with his Euc. Photos by permission of the Matchbox Club.
