This book takes this immensely popular collecting field and presents it in a comprehensive and lively manner. Focusing on diecast vehicles rather than toys in general it enables a thorough coverage of everything the budding and more experienced collector needs to know in order to identify, buy, and look after their diecasts. Beginning with a useful discussion of the historical background to the production of diecast vehicles, how to assess identity, age, and condition, and advice on buying and selling, the reader is then led through all the significant international makers organized by chronological periods of production. For each maker key developments are covered and identifying features highlighted. The second half of the book then presents a comprehensive compendium of the types of vehicles available, from sports cars, to caravans, to TV and film-related models. Also included are associated items such as accessories, garages, and ephernera. All vehicles are given value estimates. There is also an explanation of how to tell if your items are genuine, plus advice on care, storage, display, cleaning, and restoration. A guide to fairs, clubs, and museums around the world is included.
