A collection of cars collected over 60 years, sold for 350 thousand euros

There are times when collectors decide to say goodbye to the treasure that they have collected throughout their lives. A resident of the British city of Warrington, Simon hope, who heads the auction house H&H, sold about 3 thousand toy cars. The total value of the sold copies has exceeded 350 thousand euros. All Matchbox cars have been collected by the collector for 60 years, many of them are rarities, for example, the price of some models exceeded 8 thousand euros.

The first cars appeared in Simon's early childhood. Since the boy was very careful with his toys, even the oldest copies were preserved very well. By the time of the sale, the collection had grown to such a size that the cars had to be sold in several runs. The sale was made through Vectis, a company that specializes in selling toys.
