purple NAMC alert

Post by Dr Jazz »

A little warning. This NAMC I think is dodgy.

http://www.ebay.de/itm/Matchbox-Superfa ... 23494d6705

it was sold earlier

This seller has a lot of customs, but he sells them like they are restored originals. Im am not screeming FAKE FRAUD!! just saying its dodgy...

I am looking at the images on my phone at the moment as i am not near my PC but the base looks odd. Specifically the damaged areas around the rivets or is my eye sight failing me again. The decals dont look right either but i cant get a good look at them i may be wrong.

Is that silicone around the rivets ? Surely it was never intended to fool anyone and be passed off as genuine ?

Playworn wheels, grille and front bumper, Mint paintwork but the colours are not correct and the rivets have been drilled, I don't think it would fool anyone.
