It is a 'B' casting, but of the caliber of the earlier rares in his display, and even non-mint is impossible to locate. I still look at mine from Nick every morning and night. It is kept by my computer now rather than hidden away with others I have crossed off my 40+ year old 'Want List'. kwakers
Hi DIck, this is a very tough one to find and one of my favourite models. My one is always on view deep in my cabinet, the other one I have reminds how easy it can be to over look a very rare model.

Nice page you have, a bit empty though
when will you add more ?
Hi Jazz,
I have had that site for a long time, I am very slow at things like that but for the swaps is easy for me to keep track of what I have.
Not sure what else i will add at the moment as it seems to be very time consuming(but that is probably just me).
Thanks for taking the time to have a look.
All the best
Jason

Very happy to pick up this cracking 19b recently with SPW, yet another model with the rivets unpressed. This model seems to suffer with loose bases anyway but this
one could possibly have a very slight chisel mark but nowhere near enough to hold the base. Totally unintentional buy In a collection of models.J

Nice one Jason. I've yet to find one of these with SPW at the "right price" (i.e. cheap enough for me to afford
). The MGA is probably my all-time favourite Lesney casting.
Cheers,
Gavin

Thanks John and Gavin, had quite a lot of junk models recently. Nice to finally get something for the regular wheel collection.
Quite a hard model to find in good condition, very good choice as a favourite though.

Thanks MM, just added these into the collection.
Another nice Pontiac, just love these models.
Bright yellow jeep, first one I have found or seen in the flesh.
Mint 2 seater Baja, very happy with this one.
One of my all time wants is the clipper with the superfast base.

Hello Jason, that Pontiac is a stunner and I agree, they look so good in that colour with the thin 'Superfast' wheels, a candidate for the bestlooking model of the period.
Ghosty.
