Do you suppose the Lesney workers actually had some extra fun poking at the Rolls Marque while assembling these toys with such deliberate defects? ;) :lol: :oops: kwakers
...of course that is the answer and who would not want to poke fun at the elite and their Rollsers... :lol:

Don't adjust your computer or change your glasses!
I think this catalogue could have belonged to Ghosty when he was younger!

I have a couple like this. I'm surprised they survived and passed quality control.
Glad you liked it.

What Steve has shown us here is obviously Lesneys introduction to the stereoscopic 3D viewer range.

A whole new range of ephemera beckons the avid collector to view upcoming models in glorious 3D technicolour.
Great find - now where did I put those eye drops?

So, those models shown in that catalogue are all missprints, I've been searching Years for that particular number 44A Silver Cloud and now it does not exist... :roll:
