You've been busy Linus and that Beach Buggy in the previous photo has lots of splatter.

Hi Johnboy,
yes it's a good month for my collection:
I recently finished with school. After twelve years of hard everyday school life (
) and after my final exams last months I will officially earn my 'Abitur' next saturday.
So some kind relatives and friends congratulate and make my budget raising!
I'am investing in matchbox (safer as gold
) and hope they will arrive soon. (I will post here)
Yes this buggy looks great. Different to my other ones.
I also like the metallic green hovercraft with black base. Don't know if it is 'rare' or 'hard to find', but it's the first I have seen, paid 0,50€.
Maybe a 'Superfast' - expert could help
Happy collecting,
Linus

Here is the next Ebay lot with two smaller Carry cases. Arrived today..
There is an odd SF #11 Mercedes Scaffolding Truck fitted with an extra label at one side.
Greetings,
Linus

A nice little lot there but notice the Mercedes Unimog open truck in blue-green with yellow wheels, a picture of the underside would be nice.

Thank's Linus, it would have been nice to have seen the two yellow highlighted areas 'open' and not filled-in as they are, that would have been a nice bonus for you.

Thanks Ghosthunter for your advice. I will consider this next time.
For all that, I'am very happy about the pony trailer with tan base and also about the Mercedes with extra Label.
And I like the carry cases, beautiful artwork.
Greetings,
Linus

No problem...the Mercedes Scaffold truck looks like the one I used to have and that had the same side label as yours, on both sides and to me this is normal, does yours not have it on both sides then?

Yes, of course these are the normal labels. And usually there is one label each side. On the one side of my Mercedes is just one label, but on the other side are two of them. "Label over laber", so to say.
So altogether there are three labels on my Mercedes.
