@geoff-jowett no worries as this is why we share. I've also copied your list and after my meetings today, will look it over and see if any appeal to me. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Two exceptional models Geoff. Congrats on both. Man, I want one of those '61 Country Squires. If only I can find one for a reasonable price. Not likely though.😟

I have 8 on your list and count myself fortunate to have them. 

The Ford wagon is an all time favorite of mine.  One of FMs best ever.

Geno I found it on the local Australian ebay for the equivalent of around $100US. A real stroke of luck.

 

Thanks gents. The hunt goes on! For me finding a highly desirable model at a reasonable price is all part of the fun of collecting.

Geoff, first of all congratulations on the two catches. Secondly, I'm a little bit worried about your finances should you find all of your holy grails but I wish you the best of luck in finding them.
