I've got an assortment of Models of Yesteryear (MoY) I stopped collecting then as the varying scale annoyed me and I moved onto 1/43 die-casts. Some of the early MoY can be quite valuable, particularly vans with limited run liverys, there are online price guides.
I've got a red Bugatti model that was on a birthday cake when I was ~10 that I'll never get rid of.

As a kid I had the bluebird model, and other land speed cars from a promotion on the back of Kelloggs cereals.

I love the old MoY and Lledo models... Both from the same brain really as Lledo came from Matchbox in some way I seem to remember?!
Anyhow, I will always remember my Grandad buying me a custard coloured Lledo Rolls Royce from a newsagents at Shepperton train station when I was a little younger and I loved it... I am sure I still have it somewhere!!!
I remember seeing some early MoY models on the tourist kiosks on Southbank a few years back and I stupidly ignored them...!!! I bet they don't have them anymore...!
Lastly, I was in Cornwall a couple of weeks ago and I bought quite an early MoY model of a 'Thomas' car that I loved as it was painted in a lurid 1960's metallic Turquoise...!!! Superb...
