My First Japan made Tomica.

This is my first two regular Tomy made cars that is made in Japan. It is very hard to find cars nowadays. It is let go by a collector after keep it for 16 years. It is still kept nicely in its original box and one of it even has a date of purchas, written on the box by himself.
This Skyline is made back in 1989. The box packing is thinner compare to the China made Tomica box pack. Both of this car & box is now pack in a transparent box protector specially made for serious Tomica collector.

London Double Decker Bus

The Bristol Lodekka was a low-height double-decker bus built by Bristol Commercial Vehicles in England.
Bristol manufactured over 5200 Lodekkas from 1949 to 1968, as a standard double-deck vehicle for the UK state-owned bus sector. With all examples bodied by Eastern Coach Works in Lowestoft, they have a traditional half cab design and a lower floor level allowing a low overall height. The first LD-series and the later FL and FS had a rear platform, but the FSF and FLF had a front entrance. Most were powered by 5 or 6-cylinder Gardner engines, with fewer having a Bristol or Leyland power unit. With the arrival of more modern "OMO" or one person operated buses, such as the Leyland Atlantean and Bristol VRT (the Lodekka's successor), many Lodekkas found themselves relegated to driver training duties. Surrey-based Top Deck Travel converted approximately 100 to "decker home" caravan standard between 1973 and 1997, and used these buses on extended tours to Europe, Asia and and North America.

This abandon Bristol Lodekka was found in one of the bungalow at Petaling Jaya.
