Good to meet you guys too at Windsor - First time I've been to that fair as it's a fair distance from the west midlands, but some impressive Regular Wheels there. Here's a Ferrari Berlinetta I bought recently and I hope it's genuine!- see what you think. Feel free to move this post elsewhere if needed.

Cheers

Hi John, Looks good to me, I have been after this model for years, i missed one last week at the NEC. I have been told that they were given away with a gallon of oil I don't know whether this is right or not Pete

The red RW 75b is definitely one of the more difficult transnationals. I would rate it as htf, bordering on the rare.

It was great to see Three forum members at the Windsor toy fair on Saturday with Jason (''nearlymint''), Jason (''Fred7a'') and John (''jisherwood'') all carrying large bags of goodies although in ''nearlymint's'' case, he gave me a bag of goodies... :D thank's 'J' always nice to meet you and your Dad.

John, thank's for showing me the pictures of your #75 Berlinetta that you have now posted onto the forum, looks great in the bigger images.

I hope you all enjoyed the toy fair and included attractions. Next Windsor will be saturday, September 29th.

It was good to see Ghosty and John at Windsor on Saturday. I found a Dinky Esso tanker I'd been keeping an eye out for so I was happy.
