Lastly, I had one of these modern Majorette Beetles in the blister pack but I had plans for it

Majorette VW Beetle by RS, on Flickr

I felt this needed a more period colour (actually red primer with a satin lacquer), and I bought a set of 3D printed BRM wheels. Did a bit of stance tweaking to give it a cal-look vibe. Interior is really well done with proper oval era dash and steering wheel plus a suitcase behind the back seat

That is superb love it! Where did you get the wheels? I've one of those in a set with other classics, but haven't opened it even lol

Majorette were doing VW's with Fuchs style wheels a couple of years a go.

I found this loose caddy, which was part of a 5 pack, at a boot sale today. 10p

There's a guy on Facebook who 3D prints them, he actually took over a load of designs from a guy local to me. The original guy supplied the Fuchs on my bay custom

Have the gti in my cupboard, I’m almost sure mine came with a trailer and dingy. I had a red one when I was a kid but sold it to my cousin for 50p I think 😂

Mine is long out of the packet but mint, boat must be in the big box of matchbox cars in the loft.

Picked up this Corgi Polo Turbo hiding in a job lot of tatty Bburagos

Not quite sure why Corgi stuck a chin spoiler on the older casting!

Didn’t know they made without spoiler! I’ve the cream rally version mint and boxed, and another that’s been painted several times lol

Really pleased with this, I've been trying to find the Corgi Juniors bug with a red interior for a while. Same seller had this Matchbox Golf that seems to have been assembled incorrectly, very tidy other than that

I know someone who reproduces the surfboards too

Two whoppers, have a few of both but don’t think any as tidy! One of the golfs is mine since i was a kid. How much are the surfboards out of interest lol

bunglebus · 2022-07-10T03:13:25-0400

I'll check as the guy that was making them (and aftermarket wheels) sold all his designs to another chap.
I've bought off both but can't see the surfboards on his Facebook shop

Didn’t realise they were black! Always thought yellow/orange like interior

I painted mine as they were just plain translucent plastic. Think the originals were black as they were made with the roof rack

😎 I’m assuming it was about 40years ago when lost mine and don’t remember seeing one with them 😂
Looks great 😎
Always wondered why they made the 5dr and not the gti until recently

Found this by chance in Sainsbury's. Apparently some sort of treasure hunt, it's not pictured on the back with the other in the series
