Some nice additions...

I like the service station Roland, it's a nice way to display the models because it brings them to life. It takes up a lot of room but good fun.

Thank's Roland for the garage pictures, makes me want to rush out and get one for myself and its great to see a collector mixing 'Regular Wheel' and 'Superfast' wheeled models together, just as I would.

Red Ferrari's are nice.

As previously said, i only collect SF, if they are transitionals and the ongoing versions.The shown MG-1 is from 1970 regarding to the imprints, so it fits into my range.

When the main building is restored, i will display both versions with the period models. Thx to tractorboy i can print the regular forecourt.

Same for me, John! I´m building up some display cabinets, then there is enough rooms for them

I've not seen the British flag before! Usually they are a green chequered one and a red chequered one with the yellow M flag.
I wonder if it's original?

Steve, i compared the three flaggs and regarding cut, print and gloss of the sticker, it looks original. But of course i cant say, if this may not be a swap part from something else. Has there been a similar set with flags? As said, this is a Superfast example from 1970 (imprint) or later. Maybe there have been changes?

These are very nice additions Roland.
I particularly like the grey wheel Bedford tippers; we hardly ever get to see them in the US.
Enjoy!

Can´t believe it! Got it for 49,40 Euro incl. P&P

Lately we have been talking about making good catches with things listed in the wrong category. This is such an example, it didn´t appear in the regular matchbox listings

Is there something missing or wrong? I´m not talking about the box or the missing BP sign, as its as the pumps a separate part from the Accessory Pack No.MG1 No.A1 "BP" Garage Pumps and sign. I can´t find any issues - was it just a lucky punch?

There was another set offered last week, which had the original box, that went for 167 Euro

Wow, well done Roland, you did do well, will you populate it with vehicles like your earlier garage and have you got any additional forecourt funiture like tyre racks and oil dispensing cabinets, they always add a nice touch I think.

A bargain Roland, it looks ok to me, sometimes sellers do make mistakes with omitting certain words from the titles or not inserting items in the correct category.

Thx guys, so it seems, i didn´t do wrong. When i found it, i compared the photos with all available sources and couldn´t find a mistake, but i wasn´t shure. I´m an ebay nerd and always look "deeper" than with regular searches. This way i often find rare rims for my shop and mostly much cheaper.

Ghosty, when my cabinets are ready to use, i will give it some live with cars and details. It will look like when mum called me for dinner...
