Re: A fake i wanted
That's a nice set. I saw a box of these for sale once at Sandown. Which I'd bought them now but at the time I wasn't interested as I had to much other stuff to collect.

Mike, the set with only six signs is a fake and not made by Lesney.
It might be time to start my "Bucket List."

Re: A fake I wanted
Are there other forum members who actually want to secure fake models. These will be modesl that have been produced as a 'Code 3' status to fill a gap in the collection until the real genuine version turns up.
Now these models should not all be classed as 'Fake', because until one is passed off as 'Genuine' in a sale for monetary gain, it is just a repaint made to look like a rare model and can happily sit in the collection to at least show what the model looks like.

Re: A fake i wanted
Right I'll start then...
This is one model I would be happy to have, because there is no way I would be in a financial position to buy a genuine example, so a re-paint is perfectly acceptable, weather I do it myself or buy one already done and for a really well painted example, I would pay no more than £10.
