Went to Brentwood today and found these lone star Mercedes in a nice crisp box, husky batmobile why are these commanding prices in excess of £40 when there seems to be so many about happy to get this one for £10 a nice #57 and a #6 ford truck whith black wide wheels (can't see any sign of foil plate) and a plated base although the plating is very worn and front grill is a bit loose

Reg, are you aware that SF#6 pick up is very rare to find with the unpainted base?

Not sure about the black hubs i would suggest they have lost their hot foiling over the years. BTW what did you pay for the pickup?

Hello Reg, nice find. I'd leave it as it is personally, then if you upgrade you can pass it on as original.
