Definitely agree, especially when you compare it to the flatter light green colour.

Love the colour on that racing mini. I am not sure that the Rat Rod labels added anything, although it must have really stood out from other variations when it was brand spanking new :)

A great collection Hudson with many Years of searching behind it. I see some of the models have been renumbered with a sticky label placed on the box end-flap. Do you think you could make a list of the model to number for the forum as I would find it interesting reading and other members may be interested too.

Even if you don't have boxes for all the models you can still list the model but leave the 'Inbrima' number blank, another member might know it so we can add it later.

Sorry for the delay in Reply, then what I know about the Brazilian box and were made 5 models and 1 blister, and very difficult to list models that came out with specific case because I believe that were modified with overlapping labels even in stores and to see possible collectors also modified their numbers also of difererentes ways, I believe that the red number of box model 32 photo maserati and the number template leaving the factory, it possesses also some label templates with other colors like the photo of porsche, sorry for bad english ..

Thank you Hudson. I can understand the problem you have with model catalogue numbers and you have shown some good examples of the complicated numbering system on the boxes.

I wonder why they could not just use the original numbers the models were allocated in England and had to place sticky labels with new numbers on to the boxes which have then been crossed out and an alternative number written in ink applied...all very interesting

Doesn't that Capri look absolutely wonderful in line green and orange! (Obviously the Sixties lived on just a little bit longer in South America.)
