CoGoGo presents to the market Darlington Diecast Models Ltd, a well-regarded specialist retailer of die-cast model cars, operating from a prime Darlington shopping centre location alongside a long-established online store.

Founded in 2020, this family-run business has built a strong reputation for stocking new, second-hand and vintage die-cast models, with over 50 recognised brands including Dinky Toys, Tootsie Toys and Solido. The business is particularly known for sourcing rare and collectable pieces, making it a destination of choice for enthusiasts and collectors across the UK.

There is a good range of stock in the shop. This is roughly £120,000 but the seller is open to reasonable negotiation.

Early viewing is highly recommended.
