Oh yeah I'm sure!!! They definitely have a few miles on them. They used to sit in a dining room hutch at my Grandmother's house and I think she found them at a yard sale. My nephew played with them when he was little along with a few Hot Wheels I gave to him, he is 30 years old now and somehow I ended up with these cars several years ago and they've been sitting inside that cigar box that they are sitting on. I was going through some things a few days ago and rediscovered them. Now they are preserved and will be proudly displayed.

Sadly I have no toys from my childhood :( had to leave them all behind when we moved trans-Atlantic to the UK as shipping our belongings was too expensive

My toy cars saw a lot of fun action and later on I spent countless happy hours building model cars.

Never thought for a second back then how far my childhood passion in cars would take me in my later life

I'm pleased for your sake you are only the enabler. THAT is a mental health issue.

You bought the lot? That's a lifetime of builds!

I didn't click the link, but that lot could be the result of a hobby shop owner closing his store.

EDIT: I clicked the link... with some grammar and punctuation corrections...

I am not a builder of these nor a collector. A friend of my uncle who is now too old to enjoy these decided to give them up. He was a lifelong collector.

No, I didn't buy any of them. I have full scale models to finish and a million other projects.

Not sure where this seller is but if near me and anyone needs assitance just let me know I will be happy to lend a hand.

Here is one of the Carrera sets and the 1/43 scale cars and a few HO scale cars. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...6e4db8c550.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...aca5b31d7f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...c890128e3f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...60f30a38df.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a9499f8511.jpg
