I've got lots of different versions, white is only really regular wheels and then Superfast but the red one has a single piece or split rear bumper, with/without the rally plate on the front and even the plate has two different designs

Here's the white regular wheels

Yet again Hot Wheels have released this Volksrod (officially "Custom Volkswagen Beetle") as a multi-pack exclusive colour. Had to have it of course!

In with it was this Newbie

Which looks just like this one, but with different wheels - had this one two years though

I also found a boxed Matchbox Transporter, the orange stripe version. I have one of the red stripe versions boxed too somewhere

Hardest to find is the black Commando version

Don't know why they never made a camper version really

A couple of yellow panel vans - couldn't be more different though
First, a Welly air cooled VW T3 sold as an official VW product

Funny how it goes - got this Welly 1:43 Lupo the other day as Mrs. BB likes them to go with her 1:1 scale version

Then today we stumbled across a market in a local town and she spotted this 1:28 Kinsmart hiding in a box

Very nice! I had a purple welly one a while back that I bought to get some mk3/4/5 golfs it was with, I think I put it on eBay and got £15 for it which was more than I paid for the bundle! Always loved the look of a lupo, cute.

I've sold a couple of those Welly ones for similar amounts, crazy! Usually pick them up for 50p at boot sales or charity shops.
Still got 3 spares to sell or repaint, I noticed one of them has a pull-back motor which I haven't seen before

Very tatty early Matchbox No.25 Beetle

Not a model as such but pulled this down from a dusty shelf. It’s hand carved from a single piece of wood and quite well detailed. Bro in law brought it back from Africa for me about 10years ago.

Rustic ! (pun intended), a bit like my Beetle 😁

Here is a few of mine .

I had that Fully Loaded snow globe, it was flipping expensive! Another thing I've realised I've been robbed of at some point over the years.
The Fully Loaded Herbie (with the whale tail) is another I'm sure I used to own...
I do still have the white ceramic lamp though

Cool, I’ve the blue 67 on top of your cupboard too, that’s the only other one I’ve seen! My folks brought me it back from Spain about 25yr ago
