The model has been opened before and yes it is repainted but I think it was red before too.

Thanks for that. I wasn't sure if it was a Fire Chief with a rare beacon or a fire chief/police car that had been repainted :D The Ponty Convertible looks good, is it original? The screens are quite easy to replace on those.

Yes this one is original and looks apart from the Screen quite good after cleaning.
I will buy a new Screen, try to tint it green like Tinman proposed and mount it on that one.

I´m not sure what happened to the paint of the Vauxhall but the model is original.

That would be interesting for me too.

Thank you Stephan.

The Vauxhall does look original with nice Silver-Grey wheels. The rather odd finish to the paint is possibly due to the model being on display in damp conditions and the pigments in the paint has started to suffer. Providing the model is now stored in dryer conditions, there should not be any further paint problems, very nice model.
