I found a pair of Minic toys...

A few years ago, I had to sell many models from my collection, as a matter of fact, there's not much remaining of the models there's nothing left from the articles published before 2018 but the Birk yellow Bus I had the chance to buy back a few years after I had sold it.

Minic 58ME Daimler sunshine saloon with electric headlamps and battery : I see the light

 From all the Minic line, the electric ones are the top collector items, they were more expensive than the others at the time and they still are. I've been told by Parisian shop keeper Vincent Espinasse some MIB sedancas had sell for 1500 euro in the late eighty's; at the time it was a very huge price, it would be something between 3000 and 4000 euro. In fact prices have dropped rather than increase and even if their price are the same than ten years ago, the cost of living increases year after year and that's a good thing for collectors.
