Results of Hunting in UK before and after the annual meeting 2013

Hi everybody.
It was nice to meet you in the AGM 2013 in Derby.

Here are the results of my hunting :

The Humber Vogue Saloon in Bourton on the Water
The loudspeaker van in Heanor
The Pullmore Car Transporter with its box in Matlock (colours difficult to find in France !)
The cover for Austin Covered Wagon 30S in Matlock

Cheers

My Austin is very Happy to have found a cover. Unfortunately, my Austin is a 30J !

Hi Richard,

Nice additions. I love the mid blue Bedford, took me years to find a good one, not easy to find over here either!

The green Loudspeaker van is one I still need, and new tin tilts are always hard to come by.

Richard-
Very nice finds for you. It is very sad that here in the U.S. we do not have shops selling antique models such as these. I keep hearing and seeing what you folks are able to find and it makes me very envious!

As a little souvenir I bought this blue bargain (on the right) at the Barry Potter Donington Park fair of 23 June, a nice addition to the cream en green half cabs:

This one the later version, with coloured hubs and lacking the extra dark blue painted strip below.

Regards, Jan

Very nice Jan ! I like very much this bus with its special look !

So I will open a new post !

Sorry for you Terry, but in France it's also very rare to find Dinky Toys in an antique shop !
I must say that UK is a paradise for that kind of hunting.

Thank you Chris. You will have yours soon. For information, I got the green for 16 pounds.

Cheers

Jan--very nice addition to your single deck bus collection. Besides the green, the blue is my favorite color, and it looks to be a pretty nice one.
