What's your latest aquisition?
Here's my latest purchase, a Tri-ang-Hornby R.754 M7 in BR Black livery.
The box was tatty, crew were missing and the BR totem transfers on the tank sides were part missing as per normal.
The model is slowly being restored, a fresh box mint was found on ebay with incorrect labels (the one on the right) and I have crew and original totem transfers a plenty in stock, I will post stages of the restoration at intervals for all my friends on here to see as they take place.
Here's the loco pre-restoration but with nice new original 40+ BR Totem transfers put on the side tanks, a packet of the original transfers is posed by the loco for reference.
Hope all at Hornby like what I am doing to their old locos.
Enjoy!

You need 58 BMW Isetta’s?! You really do like BMW Isetra’s! 
That’s a lot. I wouldnt buy two of the same Oxford Diecast model, as they have the same registration number.

I‘ve read the post you linked me to, before. If I were you, I would wait for Oxford Diecast to release more colours, instead them all being red. Need a bit of colour difference!

Two Isetta's would be too many for me, never mind 24!
More or less, these would cost £5.00 each, so 24 x 5 = 120, so more or less, you have spent £120.00 on those BMW's, Caiptean. You have definetly spent more than £100.00 on them anyway, even if you did get them for a bit less than £5.00.
