Wow, Peter,

Now we're talking. Very Very nice indeed.

Can you tell me if the #75 is the silver grilled version? (It is one of my favourites)

I am still looking for a mint Dark Bronze #33 Lucky boy!! :D

If i were you i would be keeping both your bronze #33's. Not easy to find in any condition.

Thank you Alex! And no, the ferrari has no silver grill, and you're right, I will keep both miuras temporarily. Maybe I will get a third one... :D

That's in nice condition. I don't collect these but I've come by some of these models over the years which were all packed away. I've just checked them now and three have unpainted bases. I've never looked for this feature and Nick mentions that they are rare but are they really rare or more overlooked?

Peter that's a very nice example of the unpainted base version especially because the base is particularly clean and bright.....almost silvered.

JB I have found that the most common colour you find on the bases of these circular and square labelled Metallic dark green #45's is black, the unpainted base is certainly a little rarer but not hard to find and not to the extent that you need to pay an excessive premium to get one.
