Finally....

Haha!!! I'm so happy that I've won in bidding on these 2 custom made Camel Trophy Land Rover diecasts!! Ooh yeah...have i mentioned before I'm a 1/43 scale Land Rover diecast collector? I owned more than 100 Land Rover metal diecast in various models, which i collected since last year from ebay. Well, I would only buy those land rover that I think they're special or has certain values. Most of the diecasts that I have bought were either in custom made or limited edition. The custom made Land Rover diecasts by this Japanese seller were very rare and built on very fine detail, based on the true model of Camel Thophy Land Rover. Only few were produced at one time and I have being outbidded so many times by these frantic bidders who were apparently far more richer than me. They could spent few hundred dollars for a diecast car!!! The Land Rover Freelander listed last month was sold at $230!! Were they out of their minds?? I never thought I will win this time, because I never win any bid for past few months. Who knows? I won the Land Rover Discovery and Defender both in one auction!!(only these 2 cars were listed on the auction this time)I was bidding on the thought of trying luck, I'd put an amount in the last minutes which I have outbidded the previous bidder unexpectedly!! 1 minute later, I tried for another one, which I'd won too!! Yohoo!!!

    you don't happen to have the red discovery with the stuff on it's roof? I remember seeing it as a kid, but can't find it anywhere now. I don't know if it was a fire rescue vehicle (i suspect it might be because a similarly looking model keeps cropping up, but it's a series 2). From what i remember when i was a kid, it was a recovery vehicle of some kind.

    Thanks for reading,
    Ally
