MB33 Lamborghini Miura question

Post by nearlymint »

Hi everyone,
Recently picked up a few yellow miura models and all had tow guides. All are in pretty poor shape but I have noticed that one of them did not have the wheel arch blocks. Model looks genuine, I have checked all my ones and they all have this block. I am assuming that its probably old parts again.
Does anyone else have a superfast version without the blocks?

Many thanks for checking your models, just shows you how many tow guide versions are about.
Not so common without the block.

Thanks Reg,
I have checked all my ones, think I will double check the base rivets with the camera. The model came with 2 others that had blocks with tow guides, also a couple of very early prepro superfast so did not question the model . But seeing as there are no others will have another good look. J
