Fw: [T3] New toy
Yeah - I've got that toy (from my toy box) in similar condition. They
reissued it a couple of years later with spoked wheels and a metallic lilac
paint job, which I have also. I just bought two Dinky toys at the weekend -
die cast in bigger scale - a VW1500 (notchback) and a red 1600TL (fastback.
The fastback is in a diorama case and has opening doors and (front) bonnet.
These are nice models and would be well worth looking out for. The shop I
bought the Dinky models at has the 1500 in excellent condition - 2-colour
tail lights and a decal number plate for $NZ95.00 (about $US45.00).

Cool!
I recently spotted just a similar MatchBox Fasty in Stockholm, in a shop for
old toys (collectibles).
It was in slightly better shape, but they asked 550 SEK for it! (about
US$55)
=:-o
So I didnt go for it...

Our friend Ed picked up his childhood toy box from his folk's
house in preparation for their baby daughter. My wife spotted this
Fastback toy in his inherited matchbox collection, and must have said
the right things because he gave it to me tonight for my birthday! I
had to pry it out of my sleeping son's hand to get a better look at
it.
