Cheer up Reg as there will always be nice Firenza-buys coming your way :D

I wouldnt spend that kinda money on played-with Firenzas especially knowing that they could possibly have been thru organ transplants let alone missing their original boxes.Each unto their own i guess.
Im still on my first minter ;)

yes that is the rare stingray , better to look for a later impy version of this (much like the matchbox gt range) the bonnet is cast shut but is the same size (matchbox is a smaller scale ) nice find in any condition in that harder to find colour
