Hmm, difficult to say what has happened to those wheels. The rear wheel does look as if it has been pressing against another surface and that surface may have been another plastic causing the melting we have seen before on models and highlighted elsewhere on the forum.

Hi looks like the wheels have been either in the sun or by something hot, what a shame Pete.

Dear fellow collectors,
I've some new models. For one of them I searched a very long time. The red BMW.
SF 45 BMW red with dark green windows, unpainted base and near mint.

SF 01 Dodge Challenger in dark red with white interior, it should be a swap to my playworn one but now I see it has smoked windows instead of the clear windows.
So it is a lovely additional one.

SF 06 Mercedes 350 SL Tourer in bronze with white roof and amber windows.
My others bronze Mercedes have all the clear windows.

Congratulations Sven, the #45 is lovely and one I am still looking to add to my own collection. My favourite is the #1 with the smoked glass, very nice example and not that easy to find.

Thx Peter,
yes the box is very fine. As I bought the BEA in it's box I wasn't aware about it's rarity.
I saw the item three days in eBay with the buy it now option, but it was out of interest.
After the three days i made an offer to the seller and he agreed.
So I got this beautiful BEA D-Box.
The seller wrote me he has hundreds of other RW for sale. I saw a few htf models for example the Ford Singer Van in dark green. Unfortunately he broke the contact.
Maybe he thinks now the BEA was too cheap.
I made this offer to the best of my knowledge and i wrote him i won't pay seller prices.

Yes Bill, thanks. I think it's my best box and a 58A with BPW would be fine, unfortunately I'm still searching for a this model.
