[Aussie Bob]

Hi Guys, here is an interesting email I received from Gerry regarding actual numbers produced in the Kookaburra range .......

Hi Steve,

Sorry to take so long but we re checked our records then lost it some where over Christmas. Was saved under the wrong name.

Best Wishes

Gerry

Very nice indeed,

I wish there was a Desert Blush / Limestone Beige FB amongst them so that Plastic could have a MiniMe. Maybe I can find one on ebay and repaint it

Hmmm...if it's one of the Trax models I'll have to also have to sort out those hubcaps. IF you C what I mean.

[EKH00N]

Great info Steve! Have most of the Trax and got 2 kookaburra utes and a blue van. Always wanted a wagon but haven't come across one yet...

[Brown Bear]

Great info Steve

Have you got one of these in your collection?



AMC brand, possibly around 10 years old (I bought it in '06). Independant body cast, but uses Trax brightwork - headlights, grille, bumpers etc.

I have only seen one other since, and the owner wouldn't sell...

Cheers,

Matt

Just wondering, how much are these cars worth to buy?

Cheers Gus
