Monthly Acquisitions: August 2023

August 2023 Acquisitions

16 cars added in August, 10 of which were Matchbox. A more restrained month than June or July. I used to get 5 packs, when there was just a single model that interested me, now I need more models to interest me…the Autobahn Express IV 5 Pack had 5 attractive models, I particularly like the Mercedes W123 Wagon and the 1969 BMW 2002.
