RW 39 a Ford Zodiac Convertible

Post by eburak »

Hi all,

After a break, I am considering to bid an auction on eBay. It will be appreciated if you comment if the model is genuine or fake. Somehow I can not resize the pics and post multiple pictures in once.

Best ,

Burak

Hi Burak ,
Do you have any concerns with this model, just wondered why you are asking.

Dear J,

I think cast is OK. But I am not sure about the rivets. This is why I am asking your comments. Thanks in advance.

Looks OK for me.
The rivet on the brown baseplate Zodiacs is often quite odd. Sometimes the baseplate is even loose.

I've seen a few of these on eBay and a lot of rivets appear to be damaged or pushed in. I have no idea why.
All my collection is absolutely mint, sage and onion condition

Here are 2 of mine with similar rivet condition - so yours looks OK.
