Welcome to the garage :wave:

I can see already that you and your collection will be greatly appreciated. There are several Matchbox variation collectors who will enjoy seeing models we do not have in the United States.

No problem, no rush.

Nice to see another proud owner of an apple-green Ford Zodiac here!

Might I also make a request if you have them? If you have any versions of the Ferrari Berlinetta or Ford GT40, could you be so kind as to share when you have time.

Which do you want to see. Have over 40 different bulgarian ones, or do you want to see the normal matchbox (not yet any pictures made).

Let me know.

Hello and welcome to Swifty's Garage. Thank you for starting your membership with posting such nice pieces from your collection! I am very fond of the pre-1970 Lesney Matchbox as that is how I began my diecast collection in the mid 1960s. In fact, the 30c Faun 8 wheeled crane was my very first diecast! Of course, it is green and not the rare turquoise.
Looking forward to see more of your collection. :wave:

One of my favorite models also. A lot of play value with the all the motorcycles.

What a great collection you have. I don't collect Bulgarian or Hungarian models. With all the variations that could be a whole collection all by itself, but I do like to see what color combinations they've chosen. Some of them are really sharp looking.

Keep the images coming.

I'm really enjoying, and amazed at your collection Kurt. Have a couple questions about these sets....

Are they Bulgarian?
Are the big trucks in each set marked as Matchbox on the base? (I have never seen those castings before)
