Wow, silver wheel Citroen in D box, maybe the model at the top of my wish list ;)

In the space between the braces for the sidecar, one area is relatively square, while the other has a notch at upper right.

Please use a web hosting site (like photobucket) to store pictures so you can post them here, using attachments makes it hard to view the pictures when you have to scroll to see them. Seeing comparisons of models is hard to see with attachments too.

Hey Dan/All,
I have heard that there are some 66C bus models with the decals/labels reversed (probably the squared-off ones) on the model so that the greyhound is at the back of the bus rather than the front. Do you have such a model or has anyone seen one??

Hi Bill.
I just checked my Greyhounds, 26 of them and all face the correct direction.
