In the good times he has been known to spend up to £15,000 in a month on ebay collecting NIB kits.

You might like to see a few photos of his collection.

The Tamiya Black Porsches in the above picture are the holy grail of vintage collectors, NIB in a good condition box complete with bag will set you back around £5,000. Paul has at least half a dozen and has even split one of them for a fellow collector to replace the parts that were missing in the Porsche he had bought.



Although Paul Kings collection isn't anything like that of Olivier Sebastiani

That guy is taking the p### surely?!! 'I was at my London home the other day, looking for something for my son, and just happened to find 6x NIB Tamiya Celica Rallys!
