This preproduction-prototype will undoubtedly remain one of the best finds of 2014......Congrats Jason !!
This early casting with plastic grille & base was surely never dreamt about by most collectors let alone being previously seen or heard.This most certainly isnt a One-Wish wonder.......this comes more as a shock than a surprise.
This could possibly be the only survivor and so would make if one of the finest,most rarest Lesney trials ever.I have butterflies just looking at this specimen cos i share your excitement too Jason and know that many would seriously trade their Reverse Wreckers for any Lesney artefact of similar magnitude.
The Old-Boys could tell us more.
Hmmmmm.......I dont think there is anybody alive to compare with how tightly Jason must have clutched it after confirming its authenticy and how very quickly he paid for this beauty and how casually walked away from the scene of the crime.........Wish we could have caught this episode on camera.. :lol: :lol:
Its a keeper Jason and know that im happy for u. Enjoy !! :D

cool pics Jason!
Please use a web hosting site (like photobucket) to store pictures so you can post them here, using attachments makes it hard to view the pictures when you have to scroll to see them. Seeing comparisons of models is hard to see with attachments too.
