Treasure Treat

One-of-a-kind vintage diecast, catalogued and graded the way auction lots should be — every specification listed, every flaw photographed.

Browse by

Marque

Who made the model, and who made the car.

Scale

The size of the model against the real car.

Era

The decade the subject belongs to.

How we grade

Mint
As it left the factory. Nothing to report, and nothing hidden.
Near mint
One or two faults visible on close inspection. Nothing you would see on a shelf.
Excellent
Light handling wear. All original parts present and correct.
Good
Honest shelf wear — small chips or scuffs, each one photographed and described.
Fair
Noticeable wear, possible small losses or an old repair. Priced accordingly.
Play-worn
Played with, as it was meant to be. Paint loss, and often a replaced part.

Boxes are graded separately on the same scale: a mint model in a crushed box is not a mint lot, and pretending otherwise would waste everyone's time. Every flaw is photographed close, with something in shot for scale, and no image is retouched.

  • Eight or more photographs per lot, flaws included.
  • Insured, tracked UK delivery. Postage is shown before checkout, never added at the last step.
  • Fourteen days to change your mind, as the Consumer Contracts Regulations require.
  • Secure checkout. Card details never touch this server.

The archive

10 models catalogued. 0 have found their collectors.

Sold lots stay on this site permanently, with their photographs, specifications and condition reports intact. They are the record of what has passed through our hands, and the easiest way to judge whether we describe things accurately.

The wanted list

Most of what we buy is bought to order. Describe the marque, the model, the scale and the condition you would accept, and we will write to you if it turns up. There is no list to join and nothing else will be sent.

For example: Minichamps 1:18 Porsche 917K, near mint or better, boxed.
