Re: Still ticking of the 'G' boxes

Hi all. I'm also hunting for these with and without "NEW" G type boxes. Some of the latter are tricky to get. Johnny Pimp, you seem to list 30 pairs in existence. I only know of 28, being : 03A - 06A - 08b - 10A - 18A - 19b - 21A - 22b - 23A - 24A - 25A - 29b - 34A - 35A - 36b - 38A - 42A ...

Black base and thin wheels at rear : Superb 221 Citroën Camargue ! Here's a complete blister that I enjoyed destroying as a tribute to DLM guru David T. Inserted is the inscription present on the back of the card.

Re: Superfast Casting # 33

Major thrill yesterday, receiving this bronze Miura, a variation simply ranked 1 on my want list. You know the feeling quite well I'm sure.
Wheel numbers: 4 - 18 - 21 D - 32 D. All solid thin wheels. No tow slot of course. Dead mint gorgeous.
