More Cars & Vans

Matchbox Toys, from an early age I had accompanied my Mum into Ross on a Saturday morning, George Masons was the main stop, then it was off to WH Smiths where I was allowed to choose a Matchbox toy, this was a demanding task, so many to choose from, I had a large collection. Occasionally I was allowed a Dinky car or a Corgi, Corgis were later generation and highly prized, lorries, tractors and vans, even an ice cream van were added to my collection. One Christmas I remember receiving a Chipperfields Circus lorry and trailer complete with Tiger and Lion, on another occasion it was a Massey Ferguson Combine Harvester which I still have though Ebay beckons.
