My Superfast Favorite

[SMS88]

All very fine,its so hard to pick a personal favourite but of these shown here the green Berlinetta is the one that I would most like to own

I am determined to get one this year Mick with luck!

Mick do you know if the green SF berlinetta has ever been seen with a silver grill?

Yes it has, and sealed in a US blisterpack too if I recall correctly. The #25 Cortina GT is my favourite SF casting of all time....

Mine is the Porsche 911 Turbo from 1978. It is by far the biggest collection I currently have of an individual model. I have lost count on how many I now own, although I will know in about 3 weeks. I am currently amalgamating my collection as we speak. I picked up 66x 48-car cases-worth of new additions to my collection over the last 5 years. All my models are supposed to be sorted by casting, but I got lazy. All the new stuff just kept getting piled up. I fill a case, get a new case. And now I find I have 66 of these cases all filled with random models in no order at all. So I am currently working my way through these cases (I have 38 cases left to sort) and plan to finish in 2 weeks. I have the third week of March booked off work to then amalgamate these cars into the main collection. I think it is looking to be a solid week of work there. There are the best part of 11,000 models in the main collection to move these 3,000 odd new additions into. There is going to be a lot of sorting, cars piled up on the floor and mess involved as I work through them all. But it will be fun too. At that time I will then know exactly how big my Porsche Turbo count has reached. I have noticed quite a few random Porsche Turbos sprinkled through the new addition stuff.

Yes Mick, something in the back of my mind is telling me that there may have been an image of the blistered model on the original forum. I may be wrong but i am sure me recollection may be correct. It would be great to see an image of it again on this forum.

mm, I'm interested in this because the 75b's are one of my favourites both rw and sf. But I've been trying to recall the discussion and I can't. I do recall a carded #22 with mask sprayed silver trim, but that's no help

The Ferrari is a great model, I have a couple but the shade of green is slightly different between them.

Now I have a question for you SF guys??? as I'm new to this When I opened the box and looked over my new model I was thinking there was something wrong with it. I thought why would someone cut the tow hook off (again I'm new to the SF collecting) So I did some looking around and figured out that all was OK...So the question is why/when did this No.75SF not have a tow hook and did any SF come with a tow hook???

Thanks for the help
