NIce collection of models - think we could all find a place for those.
Yes, there's always something special about getting that particular model that's been on the wish list for a while.
The daily check in at the mailbox - the arrival - the unpacking.
Well done Bill.

Thanks all and as was mentioned in the E-bay thread unfortunately the SPW Fairlane is not authentic and will be returned to its rightful owner today.Despite that costly upset this arrived today so I am happy again. Pickford van with rear step in a nice type E box. I also was high bidder on the 34b E box which recently ended so I will be sharing that too when it arrives.
Happy Collecting
Bill

Absolute beauties Bill, how do you find these factory fresh models and boxes? Have you got a secret time machine

I agree with ''Johnboy'', they are stunners and if you are happy in accepting bribes, maybe you will tell us your secret as to how you find them...

Excellent finds Bill. I may have to fight Ghostie for the Cresta!

Actually Martin, I think I'll concede on the Cresta, having now met you at the Sandown Toy fair (it was nice meeting you by the way), you are bigger than me, so it's all yours...

That is a particularly impressive line up Bill. Thanks for sharing.
And yes fixer, has anyone ever seen a truly MINT 75A Thunderbird. I think they all got some damage in the boxes during shipment.

I think some may have been damaged as the masks were removed in the factory.
