Looking through the loft
 

Getting a digital aerial installed so needed to get some space to work up there. Opened a box and found some old toys. I new they were up there and my Mother has been talking about them after seeing similar going under the hammer, so thought I'd get started cataloging them for her to see again as she enjoyed them as much as I did back in the 70's.

I can remeember getting a right going over one day for going to the local toy shop to buy one when I was on sick leave from school. Can't remember which one though. :woot:

Quick look on eBay and looks like I have some research to do

Can anyone ID who may have made the Speedway models?

Ah man, I had forgot totally about those bikes. They were my favourite toy as a kid, I can guarantee mine aren't in anywhere near as good shape as yours. They got hammered! Kind of like a first generation finger bmx toy! Lol

Look like Vintage Britains Speedway Bike and Rider

There's a magazine called Model Collector or something along those lines. They're real helpful, if you can't identify anything contact them. Also they advertise all the meets / toy sales in there. It might be worth you going along to get some idea of value on these so you have it for either insurance or sale purposes ?
