Was I dreaming!!!

Post by GHOSTHUNTER »

Was I dreaming or was it real?

Did a member here ask about issue 1 (Version without front braces from the 'White Books'), Y-10 Silver Ghost. Asking if one was available or asking something about it!

I may have a spare example if that member comes back here and reminds me/us what the post was about.

Issue 1 (above) does not have strengthening braces from the base surface to the rear end of the front springs.

These pictures are wonderful. You have an excellent photographic eye. I have one of these in my collection. I was surprised that I did not find one in the collection we are sorting for someone else.

Hi Bob, thank you.

As a past Amature photographer, I do still enjoy playing with Cameras and taking pictures.

I was quite surprised to find the issue 1 (White Book), Y10-3 Rolls-Royce in short supply. It is a version I had always had in my collection so not one I had to search for in later Years.

No, no Sunfades are on my listing of official Lesney produced models. Sunfaded components are out of Lesney's control and will be the results of situations happening to models after the models are delivered to retailers, wholesale and distributers etc.

Well, no member has come forward so far regards a question about the Y10-3, I mention in my First post above.

The pictures below show my Three issue 1 (White Book coding), models, one of which is spare.

It is the Third model in the line up that I was making available with more pictures of the actual example below.

It is not the best condition example in the World, but still displays nicely.

A member here has come forward and requested ownership if the original questioner (which was not Gary), does not come forward, so Gary, this model looks like it's coming your way very soon!
