(have purchased cars from seller)
had a reply from seller,feels it is correct to ask $$$ and that it went thru vectis from large collection
so those with old flyers can back check it's history...??
I think he has too much faith in vectis and how that would equate to pricing based on their reputation and "experts"

A while ago, I came across a page on the Internet which debunked no fewer than four different examples of this variation and concluded by suggesting that genuine MW 22b Crestas might not even exist.
I have searched for that page today, but to no avail.

I have had a brief look at Vectis and found a vauxhall Cresta 22b in pink with metal wheels which sold for £3400 + fees back in September 2008

This is the link to the Vectis page

https://www.vectis.co.uk/matchbox-regul ... age_num=16

A BIN of over £35000 for a admittedly very rare model seems totally over the top - a couple of years ago I bought a hard to find/rare matchbox vauxhall victor 45a in yellow with no dashboard bar and the small braces on the rear rivet post in good condition for £35 as a BIN :D :D
