BryannosaurusRex 1,175 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Just found these in a box. I found them a few years ago in a sandpit All Jaguars. The blue Mk10 is by Husky and the E-type and Mk2 are by Lesney. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/19454-black-country-diecast/page/2/#findComment-218735 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatManDoza 3,474 Posted May 29, 2020 Author Share Posted May 29, 2020 (edited) Been a long time, but lack of materials has made restoring any cars pretty much impossible, until now. Got a new restoration that should befinished bythe end of today, just waiting for lacquer to dry properly. Busy couple of days here, finished a mini diorama for pictures and when paired with a ligthbox, takes nice photos. then I tried hydro dipping a car the cheap way Edited May 29, 2020 by CatManDoza 1 Quote 50% Cat 50% Man 110% Bellend Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/19454-black-country-diecast/page/2/#findComment-219978 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably gonna sell that on Yup, looks like the FW19... The question mark points to 1997 when the tobacco advertising was made illegal in F1... He came 2nd in the French GP with that Question Mark on the side of the car, but they used several iterations in that year on the side of the car and on the spoiler (Rothmans, R.?, ?, Racing) Though the other lateral Advertising brand was Hype and not snap on in that French GP... They had 4 brands for the front lateral of that car (auto Motor Sport, Hype, Sanyo and ProSieben), none of them was Snap-on, as far as I can tell.... EDIT: I did find an actual picture with the snap on logo and the R.? on the side from 1997 in Villeneuve´s car (Great Britain GP) Now I really would like to know if that combo was used in any race (Snap on + ?).

CatManDoza 3,474 Posted June 19, 2020 Author Share Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) So I emailed the company that made this model to get some background on it. Turns out it's a bespoke piece hand made for jaguar Land rover out of high grade pewter, and currently worth around £50. Not bad for a 3 quid outlay.
