Sorry TD,i cant see much cos your pic is hazy/blurry and just too dark.A close-up daylight pic could help and is appreciated.

JSUK that finding faults on your specimens was never my 1st-hand intention.They all seem to be genuine thus far.Its just that when something odd catches the eye,all we do is politely ask the poster for more detailed/clear pics so as to determine if what we see is a legitimate factory fault or whether its post-factory,thats all and nothing untoward.By doing so the requester,the poster and all other viewers or participants might learn from this type of inquiry,yourself included.This is how we Mb collectors are able to differentiate specimens being the real deal or other right here on this forum.Mb collectors,myself incl have this privilege and will always question even their own specimens that sometimes seem worrying to gain peace of mind.
Kindly visit this informative sticky if u havnt done so:
viewforum.php?f=11

Thanks,
numi

One cannot do much with all the monies in this world but can do much more if he strives toward contentment.

I think I have posted enough pictures. Either your monitor is not showing clear photos or something or cannot zoom in but my monitor and Ipad and Iphone shows the pictures very clearly.

I do not see any problems with the rivet photograph either.

Here are a few more I dug up. I think the XKE is one of the most beautiful cars ever made. Not only as a toy but in real life. Just my opinion though :D. The photos don't really show that the green window one is bronze color. The one with the clear windows is the metallic red.
