rare siku

[nathan]

we all know what rare britains stuff to look out for at toy fairs ,car boots ebay etc . but what about siku stuff ?. does anybody have any ideas what to look out for or have any pictures. any input would be great cheers

Siku did a few John Deere 3300 and 3400 tractors I think they were, based on their Renault Ceres......Don't see too many of them about although I think Marcus has one...... \

the grimme self propelled spud harvester because thats not on the production line anymore

[powerrabbit]

When did Siku begin to come in to the U.K?  We are all farmiliar with Britain's early stuff and at that time being an English company obviously makes us more aware of what the rarer production stuff is as it is well documented. Perhaps there is in Germany an equivalent documented history of Siku stuff, perhaps some of our German freinds could enlighten us. My interpretation of the word 'rare', in this context, would be just how many units of a specific item was made rather than how many are left in existance. Six of one and half a dozen of the other I guess as others would argue that what's left of earlier stuff could constitute as rare.

I can remember siku fatm stuff in the 80's, but not sure when they first came to the uk shops \

I have all the siku tractors and only need  implement for the collection

I cant find  red Round bale collecter trailer in box very hard to find this model

the second hardest one to find was the Siku tripple rolls set only came across this last year in the box

I would imagine the Deutz Fahr trailed forage harvester is another one that is hard to come by, I've been trying for a couple of years now without success \

me two gav can not find one \

[Gav836]

I think it was one of the better models that Siku made at that time in the early 90's, did miss one on ebay last year. Wish I'd got one when they were in the shops

I managed to get one last year unboxed with the maize header. Was there one with a grass header too? Sure I saw pics of one a few years back.

Most people start their listings on 99p so you pay a lower listing fee  ;)
