Sad loss of a collection but what prices!

What an amazing collection "dangler Skipworth" really made me laugh

[Rab (bombero) Reid]

There had been hope that a collector in Scotland/UK might buy the fleet as is but alas, no. Sad to see the collection of some of our best racing heritage split up! :-(

Sad time loosing all that glorious history

I had the Dinky Toy Ecurie Ecosse collection years ago, was the pride of my fleet, just love the transporter it's as iconic as the cars.

for my money this was the finest GP car ever made and was also driven by the fastest GP driver ever made

I have fond memories of Emerson and Ronnie Peterson driving those at Watkins Glen. I don't recall if it was '72 or '73, but the 6-wheel Tyrells were technically interesting.
