I know I can get the usual perspex boxes but because these cars are small I would prefer to display 3 or 4 together in one case. Does any one have any good ideas or pictures of their 1:43 cars displayed? smile

Ah yes Kelvin, I remember your thread about this display, its great! Funny story, last weekend I met a cousin of mine who I haven't seen for about 20 years. He's about 15 years older than me and we got talking about when we were kids. Because of the way things were his old toys got handed to my older brother and then on to me. Remember he was a kid in the 50's and he gave us the full collection of these very same Dinky F1 cars. Funny thing was I said they were what really got me into cars; the Talbot Lago, the Maserati, the Cooper Bristol etc. and he said a few years ago he was asking his Dad what happened to his old Dinky toys and he said he couldn't rememeber... well now he knows! And then my Mum gave them to a kid next door when I grew up, memories eh!
