Valley Axe Man Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 cheers paul aye one i not got the tractor is mint but the box is not the best but it will do for now Good way of looking at it that way John... You fill a gap in the collection until you find a better boxed example.... then selling the 1st one helps fund the purchase of another ....... sounds as though your collection could become almost self funding......apart from the expensive gift sets :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autoway Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 no I think you have much the same as what I have just need the Volvo gift set and would like a cube, I have over 1000 autoway models but most are duplicates so I moved on to the road series models .but its great to see some one else who collects them.I am just in middle of making some autoway convertions so when they are built I will pop some photos on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super6 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 last few pics Just looking through this thread catching up on the recent activity and happened to look at the label on this box set which states "This Special Autoway Set" and also "compressor not included" although it appears to have been included from the off! Another set to seek out Does it have any more numbers on the box appart from the two shown on the front? Also looking at the box art the Land Rover has the yellow truck cab as depicted on the LR from set 9891 as shown in the 1989 catalogue. I suspect that your LR came with a black truck cab as it has a black tail gate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autoway Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I have 3 of these sets all seem to be the same numbers all have the compressor and all the land rovers have black roofs with black tail gates. I have never seen a landrover with the yellow roof but hope to find one some day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super6 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I have 3 of these sets all seem to be the same numbers all have the compressor and all the land rovers have black roofs with black tail gates. I have never seen a landrover with the yellow roof but hope to find one some day All boxed? Pictures please to include any box labels/numbers/markings. A yellow truck cabbed LR would be a nice find, I reckon only as a pre production model though! The hardtop was available in yellow on the BT LR, not to sure if the same shade of yellow though. wow sounds like you have some collection there yes your right it is good to see someone else collecting them do you sell any i need sets 9888 and 9889 pm me if you have duplicates that you might sell 9888 came my way recently, LR has a black hard top and tail gate. I'll post pictures paul there is more numbers on the box one end has 9891 the other end has a sticker with R4478G autoway maintenence set M289 the number on the lid ends in R instead of G i will put some pics on soon the landrover possibly has the black top missing thats how i bought it Look forward to those John, another un-catalogued variation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autoway Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Yes they are all boxed but the same as pictured above just with the black roofs all have the black sticker on the front but all have the compressor.bt landrover is a different colour the roof is darker, yes I would think you are right more then likely pre production models with yellow roofs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
