Well, nothing I would expect to excite you guys with

Four 1960s F G Taylor rabbits and an Elastolin Gee Gee from Ray (right hand side of the door as you walk into the small hall - Scottish chap who starts out at 2 in the morning to get to Spalding )

And a Massey from Andy Big Cheese:

[david_scrivener]

The Elastolin horse is in excellent condition Mandy. None of the cracks so often seen on composition figures.

You chaps kept the tills rattling by the looks of it! Some envious buys, not least Johns purchase of the 699 from Martyn. May gave to make a beeline for his stand at the next show I go too if that sort of thing is going to be offered...... *cough* Massey 698T 2wd, front weights, stainless straight pipe *cough* :D
