CM'S Rally Cars


Coming back from Hong Kong and after having found some more CM'S Rally Cars, I found my hunger to add more to the collection was reignited. So for many hours, over many days I combed random websites and eBay looking for the best deals on cars I was interested in from the known line-up (and also the unknown line-up) and started putting together various combinations of potential purchases. However either my wish list from one seller was too much for the budget, shipping for multiple items was being over charged or I just generally had a bad feeling about the purchase .. so I kept on backing out. That is until I found one seller who had a nice selection and very reasonable postage.


Four days after making the eBay order, I had a parcel on my front door step and I eagerly tore into it.





The bulk of the parcel were three Peugeot's from the 8.5 series of the blind box series.



The other item was an unknown listing containing two Ford Focus rally cars. When the box was opened, I was disappointed to see that the bottom car was rattling around in the box, but on opening I was very thankful that the car hadn't received any damage. A quick tightening of the screw had the car back of the base and aside from the cut tape of the box, you wouldn't know it had been opened.




All of these cars are superb, for small little cars the attention to detail on each is outstanding and it is such a shame that the company went bankrupt and I have taken a while to get back into the hunt
