I do have a box of boxes in the loft, but not sure I will ever be able to re-match the correct cars up with the right box now.

The most recent models I got were a special limited edition of a "Rowntrees and KitKat" trucks in a plastic display box. I felt a bit of a heathen unscrewing them from the case, so I could put the two cars in the cabinet, but decided I was doing all the other collectors a favour, as I had just increased the value of theirs..

Bear in mind its still boxed with the 10 original bars inside still.
And I know what you mean, whenever I buy hot wheels I always buy duplicates so I can keep some carded and open others. The die hards really get upset when you rip open a £100 car lol
