TITLE: Lone Star Flyers Vauxhall Firenza

SOLD FOR: £112.00

BIDS: 24

Incredibly sought after Lone Star Vauxhall Firenza diecast in metallic bronze. This rare scale model is in very good condition with few signs of play. Doors and bonnet all work and the wheels run freely. Comes unboxed, but the excellent paintwork is almost entirely intact. A hard to find colour of this particular Lone Star release, some of which were given away as promotional items. Starting at just £9.99 and with bidding slowly creeping up over the seven day auction, it was at just under £80 with 30 minutes to go. A late frenzy amongst the bidders saw the final price quickly rise to £112.00 at the finish.

DATE: 14th March 2021

TITLE: Corgi Gift Set GS40 "The Avengers"

SOLD FOR: £212.89

BIDS: 20

A rare Corgi set, complete in its original card display box. Emma Peel's Lotus Elan S2 is in excellent condition, with only a couple of minor pin head chips on the front and two at the rear. Clear unmarked windscreen with fully working side windows. Emma Peel figure in excellent condition. Steed's Bentley is the red version in excellent, unmarked condition. Interior excellent with original Steed sat driving, front windscreen complete unmarked. The original card issue box is in excellent condition, as is the inner display tray.

DATE: 21st February 2021

TITLE: Tri-ang Spot-on No 212 Car, Dinghy and Trailer Set

SOLD FOR: £244.00

BIDS: 13

Original 1960s model set by Tri-ang SpotOn. Car and trailer are both in very good condition, whilst the dinghy has mast, sails and rudder inside, and looks to be reasonably complete. The outer box is most definitely a bit battered, but is all there with both end flaps intact. Clear cellophane window is largely present, but in poor condition. The set has been owned since new. Starting at just £12.40, the price rose steadily during the auction, with a couple of bids pushing the final price up in the last two hours.
