BP #25 Bedford Petrol Tanker ![]() ![]() ![]() The cab flips forward to reveal a detailed interior ![]() Interior flips to reveal a detailed engine. #07 Ford Rubbish Tipper ![]() ![]() ![]() When you lift the rear, the tailgate opens up to dump the garbage out. This whole lot was WON FOR A MERE $15! Shipping was $5 #74 Daimler Double decker bus, This model was given to me for free by the seller as "a little extra piece for my collection"! ![]() ![]() Everything but the bus won't be with me for long, they were purchased as a gift for a special friend of mine.

That stuff is way cool. I wondered if I ever played with any of those as a child in the sixties? |

Not that I'm biased, but I always loved, and have been after that "Husky"-brand garbage truck since I started diecast collecting last October. It's not the same cab, but opens the same way. They chromed the living daylights out of that truck!![]() Nice vintage Matchboxes! I recently got all those models this month, save for the cement truck and trash truck. I love the Daimler Bus because of the "suspension" it has. Try lightly tipping it a little bit from the side, it shakes like Jello! Edited by SeberHusky, Jun 29 2013, 11:02 PM.

Thanks! I hope you find that "Husky" garbage truck! I tried tipping the bus. It has a top heavy wobble to it. |
