Just thought I'd post pics of the few British models I had that Tomica made over the years.
Anybody have others to share?

These are all at least 12 years old, the Taxi might be from the 70's or 80's though.

Wow - I have not seen the silver taxi before - mine is solid black. I know they had a couple of Lotus cars as well as the Lotus formula one race car in their old F-series of models as well as a nice double deck bus.

Thanks John, Hobie, and Daniel!

I didn't really look through my Tomy collection too hard I guess, I forgot I have a couple other castings like Hobie shows, I think mine are different colors though, (thanks for sharing the pic, I've never run across the Jag before), and I do have a few different double decker buses, didn't even think of them either.

Thanks,

Dig out the variations and post em. :)

I only grabbed the Jag somewhat recently myself, having had the old Welly and Yat Ming (probably modified) copies of it, as well as the CF copy. I see a few on ebay for decent prices if you desire to remedy the situation. ;)

I think this Lotus is a later issue, possibly for an anniversary series, since it's made in China.

London Buses

Thought I'd add some boxes I had for some of the models shown.

It's strange that I had 4 of the London Bus boxes in my box box, but only had the three buses in my jammers case.

Found another color variation on the Lotus that I had in the wrong Jammers case.

I don't know what the gold base is all about, it may have been just a standard issue?

Here is my version of the Tomica London Taxi in black. At one time I had that Lotus and mine too had the gold base so I think it was just part of the design that chose to use on that version.

Wow - I really like the white version of the Mini police car. Makes you wonder if there might be other variations of this little police car out there. :toy:
