#41 Yellow GT40 & #45 Emerald Green Group6

Post by numi »

Hi All,
Both these variants are rare as we all know but the exact tally does not exist so would appreciate your polls as to which seems/could be the rarer of the two.
Thanks in advance,
numi

Hello numi

In my eyes the yellow Ford GT 40 is to be found much less frequently.I was looking for a multi-pack, or even after a single model on Diecast Swapmeets in Italy many years ago and was unsuccessful.Have also Italian dealers commissioned for me to look also was unsuccessful.But I give up hope.

Cheers Mathias
