Eddie Stobart models, in search of...

[autoart]

Hi there,

As some maybe aware, I collect Eddie Stobart models and I'm close to having every model ever produced by Corgi now in my collection. I recently emailed Corgi to send me through an extensive list of all their models ever produced.

eBay has been a fantastic resource to find some of the much older releases and at fantastic prices

There are a few extras that appear on my list that I can not find, so was hoping if I list them below so of you may well have seen them or can point me in the right direction of someone who's selling them, thanks.

The list of missing models for my collection are:


18405 - Bedford O Artic
56602 - Bedford S Sack Truck
57001 - Gift set (Corgi have no more info on what this set has in it)
TY86813 - Volvo Rigid Truck
TY93234 - (Corgi have no details of this one either)

Thanks in advance if anyone is able to assist me.

PS. As in a previous post, not interested in TEKNO models as their quality is crap. However, I know IXO do one rally model which I already have and there are also all the Lledo models which I know have. Quite an impressive collection in all. Over 150 models in all

I heard from within the industry last year that this company closed for business!!

Besides, these items are pretty old and probably not on the shelves of any retailers.

Hmmm, I live nearby but I haven't been past the shop for a year or two, I suppose a telephone call will confirm one way or the other......


Thanks....

Yes, sure they're now shut and Chris (one of the owners I believe) has a company called Flying Tigers doing aviation models.

www.model-car.com

By far the best web site for collectors of 1:43 scale models. They may be based in Portugual but delivery to the UK is free and their prices are bloody good (once you do a convesion from euros), beats most online shops here in the UK who charge for delivery too!!!


PS. Autoart was my old handle
