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

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.
Greetings,
Linus

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...

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?

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