Darn you guys, I think you may have gotten me addicted to another casting haha. Snagged this one for a few bucks on eBay.

Wow 26 by my count!! I have about 20 of the Ferrari Berlinetta casting.

And just won 2 more 24c's, so I might be catching up to you

......... I collect diecast of all sorts, but am trying very hard to focus on Lesney regular wheels, and transitionals up to 1970. Here's my Lesney collection as it sits now. This is roughly 5 or 6 years of collecting Lesneys up to this point..................

Pilot just so you know, all the cool kids collect regular wheels so you've made a good choice

[MBXPilot]

All the cool kids indeed

Some GREAT finds arrived today!

From one eBay seller, I got these two 24c's and a Ferrari.

You can't tell from the photo (of course), but I think I may have stumbled upon another blue-green Ferrari! It's a very interesting shade, can't wait to get back to Kentucky and compare it with the rest of my #75s. It's a very light green, but has a definitive shade of blue to it in some light settings. We shall see...

Oh and the seller threw this in for free!

And this one, I'm rather excited to have. I have some #10 pipe truck transitionals at home, I might rob the black plastic piece from one of them.. Less than $15 total for all 5 of these cars! Not bad..

Dear MBXPilot, these two 24c Rolls Royces are the worst I have ever seen.
I think it is better to send them to me so that I can dispose of them soonest.
And as you are a member of this forum I will do that free of charge this time
