Please use a web hosting site (like photobucket) to store pictures so you can post them here, using attachments makes it hard to view the pictures when you have to scroll to see them. Seeing comparisons of models is hard to see with attachments too.

My lone 64:
My first MIB Matchbox was a 64b, but I sold it off when I was a teen (mid 90s) and looking for money more than collections.

Hi Brad
very nice models, the blue and white 64b MG 1100. Is there any difference (wheels, interior, baseplate, body...) between the standard green models and the prepro?
