I love the displays! DIsplay cases seem to be one of my weaknesses. Hard to come by however.

Ritchie mate, you'll have to stop this, these pictures are making me cry...

Any chance I can see model number 21, the plated "FAB 1" model and model number 58, the MB31 Silver Cloud with regular wheels, it looks like one Paul Carr was selling very recently.

Sure. Below are both models together with the release versions. The FAB1 is in a lighter gold. With the Silver Cloud, looking from the baseplate it's noted that an additional piece of plastic was added to each of the inner wheel area. The one listing on ebay is unriveted and no additional piece of plastic added.

Thank's Ritchie.

The Silver Cloud is so puzzling. when we saw the 'Paul Carr' version it was dismissed as possibly not genuine, why would there be old 60's regular wheels fitted to a mid-80's model, apart from being cosmetically more pleasing!

Do you have any valuable background information about your example you could share with us.
