P.S. about the question, what I want for trading, I must think about. My problem is, that Australia is a K 70-free country. 
A few years ago I got a picture of a wreck in a garden (sorry, I forgot the town, I think it was in the South), that's all.
Maybe you are able to find old Aussie-car-magazines wth something about the K 70 inside. But maybe I'm still owning them. I have "Wheels" Jan 71, "Motor Manual" Feb 71 and "Motor Manual" May 1985. In all three articles they have used photos from Germany, no car was imported for that.
Do you had "Auto Quartet"'s in the 70ies? In Europe it was quite popular. Some quartet-games from the early 70ies are including K 70, so this would be interesting for me, too.
Anyways, I'm in no hurry. It took sometimes years, until I've found again something great.
@wickey: what kind of motor-magazines do you had in Czechoslovakia? Would you have the chance to check the issues from 1969 to 1975, if there is something included for me? Even if there was no real import, sometimes there were notices.
@Weasel, @Jale, @rapid130: Polish magazines would be great, too.

what is MOHAG? I am a bit lost here 
basically in those years there was Svet Motoru (world of motors) and Stop I believe.
Unfortunately I do not own these old magazines. There are sometimes whole Years for sale, but personally I am not that much interested in such magazines.

thx, nah, those new things are not interesting + I can buy them directly anywhere. Most interesting things for me are still the badges and chassis plates
Oh, I forgot this SIKU-toy. I've never owned it in my childhood...
I think, it's named wrong in the auction, because these later Mustangs weren't called T5 over here.
Yes, it's very expensive, but NOS-toys from the 70ies in undamaged blister-packs indeed have such prices.

I believe this is the Siku (V330) Ford Mustang T5 ingo is referring to:-
Not in great condition, This is in my collection (Not for trade!) Just to show you what it looks like
@marioman & Antoine: yesterday I got the letter including the Swedish stamps. They are reserved for you.
For those, who are collectiing 1:43-scale-models, I have a special offer, too. I got from my Japanese friend a packet with some original NOS MÄRKLIN-Audi 100 Coupé S - from the original RAK-series, not the actual retro-made stuff! I'll sell them at eBay soon, but if anyone has a personal reservation, please let me know. I'll make photos in the next day, right now I've no time for it.
These MÄRKLIN-toys have a special story, too. In the past I had some more of them, also a lot of VW K 70 from the RAK-series, all from Japan. Why from there, you may ask?
No kidding, it was a real "surprise-discovery" more than 10 years ago. There were two guys in Tokyo in the early 70ies, who started to import West German made toy-models. But the business doesn't went well, so after a time they closed the shop. Many boxes with MÄRKLIN-RAK-toys were stored in a hidden room in the background. The following shop-owner has put a board before the door, so it was getting forgotten. Randomly it was found again in the late 90ies. Everything still NOS, just a few boxes were fallen down after an earthquake. My friend has picked them all up and sold in Japan and many of them in the USA.
The Audi 100 Coupé and the K 70 were left over - because the original cars weren't sold in the USA, so the Audi- and VW-freaks have preferred the other models, which they have known.
Otherwise: some of the previous Audi's, I've sold at eBay between 2001 and 2004, were bought from US-guys.

Thanks for the stamps
About the Audi 100 Coupé, very nice car, but I have it from Minichamps, it is enough for me ( http://www.antp.be/pic/miniatures/00000456.jpg )

My Japanese friend had made a business-trip to the Minichamps-factory. It's not really perfect there... 
Will you make the pictures to those cars Ingo?
