Following on from Harv's post on a record price for a Dinky Toy https://diecast.org/community/1_43/random-thoughts/#post-144158 here are some prices raised at auction for Matchbox Models:

The top seller, at a world-record price of £15,600, was a Superfast Lincoln Continental pre-production trial model

A Refrigerator Truck which was a factory pre-production colour trial made £9,600 despite a scratched windscreen

Other big sellers included a Regular Wheels 13d Dodge Wreck Truck that fetched £12,000, while a Volkswagen Beetle Rally Car made £6,000 and a rare Plymouth Gran Fury Police Car achieved £3,600 – £3,000 more than its estimate.

Absolutely amazing. Time to look at that Lesney collection again. With auctions, one never knows.
