Went for a country drive today and found a couple of models and an old fire extinguisher in an antique shop.

This was the first time I have found an old Corgi anywhere. Anyone know more about this model? I paid $15-.









Then the 1995 issue Code 2 Bathurst mini. I paid $30- which is a third of what I paid for my other one of these. #803 of 1500 made. I will get the roof signed by Bob I think.







and then I got the old fire extinguisher for $20-. It is just for display, I have a real one in the car. I will need to find the clips.





My missus said, "I bet your glad you came for the drive now!". You bet!

I thought you were talking about a different one Flute, that's a brilliant price for that one . The other one is worth a bit more than that even in that condition , good score .

nice work Jim, heres a pic of my period extinguisher in Alice.
think i just got the bracets from Bunnings? Will have a look tomorrow

Not at the moment panthersteve but I will keep an eye out for you. They come up on ebay every so often. I wanted two of each, the 1:43, 1:36 and 1:18. One has the roof signed by Bob Holden and one kept mint. Bob has already signed the roof on my 1:36 and 1:18.

Thanks chop, yours is the nice shiny chrome one by the looks. They are great. I will check at bunnings next time I go and I will take it with me to check the size. Thanks for the tip.
