Hello Linus,

This Sears Garage is very nice! Congratulation!

Peter

Thanks Peter!

Here are some new finds.
Mercedes 300SE, Mercedes Bus and white grill Leyland (thanks for that!) from Jazzmaster!








Greetings,
Linus

Some lovely stuff there Linus. Congrats on the Javelin!!

Thanks Motorman! The Javelin was cheap, next target will be the metallic dark green one...
I had a 4-day-trip to Berlin with my Girlfriend and here are my souvenirs:

Let's start with a #41b Jaguar D-Type with red hubs:



I was long searching for the next one, #71b Jeep Gladiator with green interior (seems quite hard to find here in Germany) :


Mod Tractor with 4 Spoke wheels to front:


And four more...:





Have a great sunday,
Linus

Very nice Linus. Your #63 Dodge Crane is interesting as the crane looks a paler yellow to the body. Nick Jones picked one up at Falkirk a few weeks ago the had 2 different shades of yellow.

Thanks Motorman. I had the same thought regarding the colour when I bought it. I will have a look at my other examples and will upload a comparison shot, too. There may is a parallel to the different shades used on the SF #4d Dodge Stake Truck.
I will create a post in the Superfast section as I have another question on this one.

Thanks again,
Linus

The Dodge crane's in a "2 tone " finish seem to turn up quite often at fairs saying that I won't see one for ages now
I would think they are plentiful as the two parts would have been painted separately and respective colour batches could vary

Strangely enough the 2 tone #63 Nick found at Falkirk was the first one i had actually seen in the hand.

Here's my 2 tone
I would assume you can get combinations of yellow shades

Thanks Reg, a very good example of a two tone!!
