The next highlight followed when I saw Kay behind his tables. I met him long time ago, so this was a nice suprise. A man full of knowledge and one of the friendliest dealers I came in contact with.
And a man with a red #56 Fiat, so thats where I got this little beauty from!

Linus,

it was great to seeing you back at the biggest toy show around here - it has been quite a long time ago that we met the last time!
So it was nice chatting with you about unusual Matchbox items, about interesting toy shows and about toppics from our home forum....

Looking forward to meeting you again in less than three weeks!
Kay

The red FIAT and the King-Size Charger are quite nice. I'm starting to really like the King-Size series,

Hi!
Just one considerable addition to my collection:
SF Mercedes 300SE. Late, modified (closed boot + different base) casting in silver with dot dash wheels.

Hmm, that's a bit nice.

Ghosthunter.

Nice addition Linus and it's good to see you posting. These models were multipack releases but were they released outside the UK?

Thanks you two!

Yes this variation was released in tesco Multipacks, I think in 5 packs rather than in packs including 3 cars.
Christian Falkensteiner lists them only as Multipack items, too.
Would have been a good seller here in Germany I think. Imagine this variation in a colourless German Box (as used for Strecha Fetcha in red, Vw Golf I ADAC, Bmw 3.0. CSI POLIZEI plus some more) ...would be a nice thing.
But they are seldom seen here, so I think they were UK release only.

I got a nm one a few month ago and they pop up here and there in Germany.

Currently there is just one more (as a bin) in german ebay. I think thats an underrated variation.

Nice addition Linus, this model can also be found with black hubs, which are harder to find than the foiled hubs imho

Thanks Alex!

Yes, I share your view
