My newes Find this Week.

[GHOSTHUNTER]

I would be happy to have 'Look-A-like' models in my collection, but not at the sort of price asked for that Cougar!

Matthias the more I look at this, the more I feel there may be some questions needing answering such as which model did you acquire from South Africa? Nick the Greek to my knowledge hasn't emigrated has he?

It would help if you commented on some of the preceding posts including my own.

By the way this is not a witch hunt Matthias, but you must admit that you have thrown a cat amongst the pigeons

I was wondering because I can't see the casting flaw. However, I didn't make a post because but Numi didn't comment on it...

Sorry Idris for the delay.
Regarding the rear casting flaw on the Cream Cougars-
Initially i noted that on more than a few Cream Cougars a casting flaw was evident but on further research and sightings i discovered that not all Cream Cougars had this flaw evident.Not sure why though.
Jasons specimen doesnt have it and so does my collector friend from the Canadian border.Could it have been rectified whilst in the early stage just before going into full production in Met Green/Olive?
Kindly confirm if your Cream Cougar is with or without this casting flaw.

I love those SLs - are they bulgarians?

Der goldene ist ein Bulgare der grünmetallene ist ein Prepro,wie auch die beiden einfarbenen Fiats.

Matthias, that image you posted of the #6 Mercedes 350SL is intriguing me. Your Photograph makes the interior and roof look a tan colour, however I would expect the interior to be yellow on a genuine prepro. I also suspect that I have seen this one for sale very recently by a certain Nik the Greek, (image posted below). Can you provide more images and clarify if this is one of Niks creations as I suspect it is?

I think they could be, but I have to agree with "Motorman" about the Green example. It does look very similar to the model in the smaller picture. I am sure Mathias can enlighten us and yes, a few more pictures would be good.

Matthias can you please provide an image of the moulding number in the plastic roof of the green metallic prepro #6 please.

The roof looks very loose to me suggesting that the roof rivet has not been spun, so you should have no problems showing the roof moulding numbers just push it up, I will also be looking for 2 round ejector rings under the roof.

Can you also provide some images of the baseplate and lots of close up rivet shots. Thanks.
