Thanks Marcel.
I'm about to sell a Sierra as part of my clearance. Photographed it last week.
Also I noticed on then Play Track Sets Boxes, there's a Faun Mobile Crane, and GMC Wrecker. More pre-pro's for you to find!!!

If your Sierra has the same wheels as posted here a fre post ago I am interested. Please can you sent me a pm.
This model was found in a shop so not a preproduction model but still one of the models I would like to find.

I can not add anything at the moment, but what a fascinating collection.
My immediate interest in this series are the Opel/Astra models, as I have been trying to keep a record of the different versions seen.

There is one variation on the Astra for this series which I don't have. One with yellow and blue wheels and a China base but the Chinas is cast on a raised area. This casting is normally found with all blue wheels.
The yellow and blue wheels model normally has a flat area China base.
