All three photographs have been lifted from an Ebay listing of about 18 months ago. The seller removed the non-original "3" label after taking the first photograph.

Hugh, I agree with Numi that is a stunning and extremely rare Group 6 and images must be put onto Nicks site without delay. (Are you reading this Nick!!)

This arrived yesterday and God I just love it when i do Ebay out of money!!!!

Here is a great example of a seller not doing any research into the model they are selling, including a couple of crap photos and vague description. The result well I think i did very well for my £5.50 purchase, what do you think?

I would have bought it if I had seen it!
And as for the #3 label on the Ford Group 6 who can say that it wasnt original because the thin wheels emerald issues most likely went out as gift or track set specials so could have been made before #7 labels printed so used whats available!

That was well spotted Alex, I would have missed that one
Mick you could be correct about the 45 label as it does have some feint glue marks along the bottom as if it had had the Burmah labels applied
