Our Specialist Diecast Auction was Spot-On!

Our 12th of September Specialist Diecast sale achieved a phenomenal £101,000

The collection of Spot-On models was the highlight of this Specialist Diecast auction; the private owner collection of 200 models gained a lot of interest from collectors across the world with over 130 bidders vying for the most hard to find lots on the day.  

The rare Spot On presentation sets from the late 1950s/early 60s ranged from Fair to Mint condition, however the popularity and scarcity of the sets meant that bidding was fierce and after much online bidding, that was hard to keep up with at times, the sets achieved remarkable prices.

Our Specialist advises the toy world has been starved of Spot On models recently; they are very much in demand, however supply is hard to come by, this private owner collection provided the perfect opportunity for buyers to fulfil their own collections and buy those elusive sets.
