I like the blue MB41 without the streakers tempo.
Not seen that before.

Cheers, Steve

Let's go ahead!
Lot 7 I got from ebay. I was looking for the Gift set issue Superfast models. Plus 1-2 condition updates and the Jeep has a casting variation I was missing.

Another case for me, of course including the 4 baskets!

Next thing is a Matchbox sign I got very cheap. I think it was mounted on a Dealer/Store Display. Any idea when it was made? I'am thankful for every hint.

I got this lot from a classic car show. There were more than 1000 classic cars! I took many pictures of 1:1 matchbox cars for you, I hope I can upload these soon. In between all those nice vintage vehicles, there was a marked for model cars, too. The best one was the Cresta for 4€. The freeway gas tanker is a bit harder to find in this combination.

Wow what a super Cresta, that's the one that stands out for me. Hang on a minute...I spy with my little Eye, something beginning with, #69 droptop Rolls-Royce in Blue as part of lot 7...Hmm, wonder what type of seat moulding that one has... :D

Sorry, no long seat variation. :( But I'am happy anyway, I always had bad luck with this casting...nice to have one in displayable condition now.
Long seat variation is hard to see on ebay auction pics. Maybe you are lucky when it arrives or you find one at a toy show. Is it correct that it was an early run with the long seat interior type?

Hi!
Here is the rest of my latest finds:

Lot 8 I got from ebay. Nearly all of them are at least in good condition. I was especially looking for the red Ford Cortina with "glow in the dark" windows. I closed some gaps in my collection.

Next one is a #3 Bedford tipper with red bed and fine tread grey plastic wheels.

Here is a SF #19 Road Dragster in pinkish red. As the Bedford tipper it comes with it's box.

And my latest addition is a RW #41 Ford gt with red hubs. In used condition but I'am happy with it!

Congratulations on a nice mixed lot, in particular, the red hub GT 40.
I like how the hubs match the interior.

Enjoy!
Happy hunting!

You've been busy lately Linus, some nice additions there, congratulations. You'll run out of storage room if you carry on at this rate :D
