#33C Lamborghini Miura yellow w/tow guide no blocks

Post by Brad Pittiful »

in recent months i bought a couple more SF miuras in yellow for very cheap...my latest has the tow guide...but i noticed it didnt have the rear wheel blocks...i know they were being assembled willy nilly and so many new variations have been made...but looking around the site i never did see mentioned a yellow body with tow guide without blocks...i have three others without tow guide in yellow with the blocks

maybe some didnt take notice or just thought they were there...so i think its time for a roll call and check your yellow miuras for the rear wheel blocks!

i dont know if you can see that there arent any blocks there
