Lesney Finds 3/20/16
My fiancee and I went for a drive yesterday and stopped at several antique stores and flea markets. Had a lot of fun looking and walking around! One antique store had recently purchased a Lesney matchbox collection, and surprisingly, had them very reasonable priced! Being mostly mint boxed models, they were still out of my meager budget haha, but I did come home with a couple VERY nice pieces. Only $40 for the pair, which I was more than happy with. Enjoy!

Lesney #24c - Rolls Royce Silver Shadow
Tonight's finished restoration is a #24c Rolle Royce transitional. I was lacking this variation, so per one of my "customizing regs", it got a stock restoration. I'm not completely happy with how it turned out, the trunk lid doesn't fit properly, and the paint has some bubbles in it. I'm not happy with the bleed-through on the wheels either. But it will display nicely! Love the original green baseplate as well.
