The SF Dark Side continues to swallow me up

Post by hydra427 »

I am slowly continuing my foray into the transitional SF models and slowly learning my lessons as the saying goes. Thank You to all have commented and given me advice as I move along this dark path. I was able to find a #41 with the thin wheels after finding out after I bought one with thick wheels that it was not a true transitional. Take a look, comment if you want, and Thanks in advance as I continue into an area that I need to learn more about.

Here are a few Regular Wheels and a Yesteryear that need some air time as well. Love finding the unplated items as well.

Thanks in advance for taking a look and don't forget to comment if you feel inclined.

Wow!!! There is no going back now. The Mustangs and the Ponty are simply stunning and congrats on finding a good looking thin wheeled Ford. I cant wait to see whst you pick up next, although it might be a while as these current finds would not have come cheap!!!

Well John, your journey into the dark side has been very carefully planned with those choice items, in particular Three very delectable 'Superfast' models, you know the ones, the ones that did not come cheap!!

You have survived so far and kept your sanity, but remember, the dark side contains many unchartered areas where even the most experienced collector has been known to reach breaking point and has become insane.

The Vintage British Diecast forum have systems in place to help you out if you get into difficulty, you can contact us 24 Hours Day and Night for assistance and one of our experts is on standby to give you assistance to help you off load any of those expensive models if you start to worry about how much money you are spending!!!

Good luck but tread carefully.

Ghosty.

Very nice models John, I do wonder how long they used the narrow wheels on the 41a sf model, as here it is with three different colour bases, so there is more narrow wheel models to find ;) :o :)

Thanks for all the nice comments. I have definitely been bitten by the SF bug. I guess I need to find a #46 Mercedes in Blue now! Ah the search goes on.
