Londontoy #11 Hawker Hurricane

I have never seen one of these for sale before so I jumped at the chance. It was listed for $9.00 USD but I ended up paying $16.00 USD plus a pretty high amount of shipping even though it was located in Canada. I'm stoked to have this a part of my collection. Seller's description is as follows:

Londontoy Convertible

I posted about a car like this previous that was missing the roof and windshield. This one just appears to be missing the roof. It is pretty tempting although quite expensive @ $19.95 USD plus shipping costs. Seller's description as follows:

This auction is for a vintage 1940's LONDONTOY Blue Convertible Car...It measures approximately 6 1/8" from bumper to bumper...It is all original and in good condition for its age...The #4 is on the bottom of the car...The paint is original and there is some paint wear...There may be a piece missing that belongs behind the backseat because there are two holes.

Londontoy Semi Truck and Flat Bed Trailer

I just found this for sale on eBay. I have never seen a flat bed trailer before so this is pretty cool. I am convinced that the trailer is made by Londontoy because the wheels look exactly the same as on the semi truck. I am not totally convinced that the trailer is complete though. I get the feeling that some parts might be missing. It is currently for sale for $10.00 plus shipping, but I think I will let this one go. Seller's description as follows:

This is for a VINTAGE CAST LONDONTOY MADE IN CANADA SEMI TRUCK AND FLAT BEAD TRAILER AND IT IS 16 " LONG AND 2 3/4" TALL AND 3 1/2" WIDE AND IT IS IN FAIR PLAYED WITH CONDITION

Londontoy Tractor & Trailer

I just found this for sale on eBay for $9.95 US. I really like the looks of it. I really like the fact that the wind up mechanism works. However, I think I will have to let it go to someone else. I want to learn how to paint, but I feel as though my skills would need to be top notch before I attempt to paint this truck. The seller's description is as follows:
