I've had many bargains over the years, mostly due to being in the right place at the right time.
Firstly my Yokomo Works 91 Drescher Edition, ex-Jimbo Pearsons works car.
This was given to me for free by the local racer who owned it.


My Predator XT, which was given to me again for free rather than being thrown out.
It had no body and the front diff had been removed so the gearbox top and all parts that attach
to it were missing. Took around 3 years to finally get all the correct parts to put it back together.


Then there's a job lot of cars from someone's attic clearout.
Box on the left was full of spares, box in the middle also included a Porsche 959, a Rough Rider
chassis to go with the new in box body set, and a Holiday Buggy. Paid £500 for these boxes,
sold the Ford Ranger and Renault F2 car for £280, plus a Ferrari 312T body set which sold for
£140 meaning I got almost all this for all of £80.


Latest bargain, bought not so long ago.
All with very little wear and the Blazing blazer is immaculate underneath. Paid £200 for the lot and the seller thought I was mad.
