I cannot help pointing out, for the benefit of those who might not know, that the silver-grey Mercedes does not belong with that box on which it has been placed in the picture. That variation was only issued in multipacks in the 1979-1981 time period, whereas the box is from 1970.

I personally think it is not a good idea to combine any models with incorrect boxes, as this tends to mislead inexperienced collectors.

For those new and inexperienced collectors the Silver Model was not issued in this box nor any other type of box. :roll:

As Christian has pointed out in came in a multi pack, or though the emphasis was really on the two models sorry for not pointing out about the boxes. :) ;)

A very nice pair.
I'm still searching for the blue one Superfast. It is interesting, because i've got the same pair: the silver one with the first box. I saw over the last years at least 3 pairs of the silver with these boxes in eBay. I think many collectors are searching for genuine boxes for unboxed models. Sometimes these combinations are sold.
