The No75 Ford Thunderbird looks like it has the blue/green base as well. Very nice group of models. J

Yes Reg it does and they will all be hand delivered. I'll pop round your place on Christmas Eve at 7.00pm to give you yours.

Thank's Dave for the Maserati decal confirmation, sort of makes it genuine and an unlisted version.

I have had a chance to look at the 'Yesteryear' Packard Landaulette now and it is a nice early example with the metal steering wheel. It also has an unplated grille casting as opposed to the Brass plated headlamps and wheels. The wheels on many of the 'Yesteryear' models from this period (mid 60's), can be found unplated but the grilles, headlamps and spare tyre carriers are rarely found unplated, so yours is a bit special and worth keeping.

The Renault 2 seater is also displaying unplated parts, but in this instance it looks like the model may have been on display in an area with uncontrolled air, such as dampness in a confined space and it appears to have taken effect on the sometimes delicate plating on those components.

As a footnote, can you post pictures of all the 'Yesteryear' models underside detail except the Green Bentley, this has never been changed so nothing exciting to look at on that model, cheers.
