Unusual present

[paulz]

One of my relatives is coming up for one of those 'milestone' birthdays. We thought, as he's a bit of a car buff, we'd get models of all the cars[ideally in the same colours] he's owned over the years. Corgi don't do all of them any ideas of other manufacturers?

Matchbox?

Do you have a local toy and model shop? you know, at first glance it looks like an old fashioned toyshop but its really for the big kids. My local one is really helpful and I'm sure that if you track down yours (try thomson local) they would be too...word of warning, some of the less well known model brands cost an arm and a leg but what a super gift

You could try model car manufacturers; 'Burago', sometimes spelt 'Bburago'. I know they do a wide range of model cars. I tried to find a good website for you, but haven't found one........yet! I'll keep looking.

A shop called Beatties do a wide range of model cars. Failing that if you have enough time try EBay..........

Ok, I've found a few sites for you, hope these help! www.diecastfast.com www.modelmegastore.co.uk www.anticsonline.co.uk www.toylink.plus.com http://www.shabbir.com/matchbox/mbsites.html Other manufacturers you could look at are Tamiya and Hot Wheels. Good Luck! x

If you have time and you are looking for all the exact colours, I bet you'd get them on EBAY. I had the same idea for my father recently (but he's had too many) but was amazed that most were there.
