As a collector of model cars over the years I have picked up a large selction of vehicles. Having being drawn to the world of VW I had to get myself some diecast models of campers.
Like many people, the Matchbox VW Dormobile no.23 was a favourite to get. luckily I had mine still from my early days. However a few years ago I was given another one complete with it's box in the blue and orange colours. I just put it on display with the others and didn't think about it any more.
However looking through a price list these models are worth up to £40 mint and boxed. This is where I discovered I in fact had a very rare version with a fuel filler flap on it. The price guide states it is so rare that it is worth over £400 !!! :shock: :shock:
Thought you guys should know as you may have something worth more than you expect.
Here is the model with the filler flap marked on it.
These two are the standard models that were issued with no filler flap.
If you have one of these or have any information about them I would love to know.
