New arrivals today 53 merc and mini dinky ferrari from ebay, the adac golf from Rayleigh on Sunday

Went to Brentwood today and found these lone star Mercedes in a nice crisp box, husky batmobile why are these commanding prices in excess of £40 when there seems to be so many about happy to get this one for £10 a nice #57 and a #6 ford truck whith black wide wheels (can't see any sign of foil plate) and a plated base although the plating is very worn and front grill is a bit loose

Hello Fixer
the other Mercedes of Lone Star.
thanks for the view.

Reg, are you aware that SF#6 pick up is very rare to find with the unpainted base?

Not sure about the black hubs i would suggest they have lost their hot foiling over the years. BTW what did you pay for the pickup?

Yes Alex I know it's vhtf I have been flipping them over for ages as you say not sure about the wheels l will have to get a second opinion on them somewhere, price was a bit higher than your #33 at £3 two for £5 along with a light orange #38 sf bike and trailer

You did well Reg!!!

New arrival today a yellow 41c for a nice price of a tenner, now the thing is do I replace the decal or leave it as is

Hello Reg, nice find. I'd leave it as it is personally, then if you upgrade you can pass it on as original.

Congratulations, Fixer.
a rare model, one should not change.

so far you are confirming my first thoughts thanks gentlemen
