Wonderful rainbow of Bulgarians, they seem to have lost none of the charm of the London cast versions!
The regular wheels 24c body on the SF baseplate seems to be as htf as some other transitionals like green SF64 MG1100 + blue SF46 Mercedes 300SE.I wonder how many members here own one?

Ritchie, welcome back to the VBD Forum, thought we had lost you forever, great to hear from you.

What a nice selection of Rolls-Royce models you have presented, a great start to your forum posts.

There are a lot of experts around the forum, especially on British "Matchbox", but several forum members also know about these Bulgarian versions, so if you want any specific information about them, just ask.

Regards,
GHOSTHUNTER.

Thank you GHOSTHUNTER for informing me that VBD forum has moved, and also your warm welcome! I really appreciate it. Will definitely have more posts on RR. Just got caught up in work and a few things, bear with me for some more time...

Thanks Nick for sorting out my account issues logging in this new site.

And I must thank Nigel for introducing me to Nick's forum on lefora in the first place. It's truely the best forum ever! So many experts! A treasure for me! Sadly I have not read enough before its format changed. Luckily we have moved to this new site and we have GHOSTHUNTER for saving most of the old images. Thank you again GHOSTHUNTER !

Cheers,
Ritchie

The model on the 'Blister' card is a darker shade of Yellow-Gold and it can also be seen on the right model of these Two below.

To see it better, lets park them nose to nose...

Clearly a distinct shade difference between those Two and both with the square air-vents on the wheels. I only know of the Three types of packaging as shown in the above pictures, the Red and Black fully closed box is available in Two styles.

The 3rd one, 5 spoke wheels with larger wheel arch.
The 4th one, dot dash wheels with larger wheel arch.

By the way, I'm not aware of 2 styles of the Japanese black box for J-4. What are the 2 styles?

Thanks,
