The Ford convertible is a wanted model for me. I nearly said on my 'Wish List', but then I realized the list is already running into several A4 pages, so would have been pointless... :(

I had some successfull weeks... :D

Most of them are in "used conditon", but some fill up gaps in the collection and others will be an upgrade in condition, if they are not a
variation.

Firechief with good decals, the trucks with most of their paint (and a white front!) roofrack and boat for a better example in the display,
Jag with red hubs and a nearly flawless Harley!

Well yes - i did it again! Another Mercedes truck and trailer and one of my favorite cars of all times, a Mercedes 600. Luckily i have some
spare parts for the rescue.

The pens are virtually impossible to find on their own, I have quite a few missing from my items. The Merc can come with 1 or 2 spares as you've found, and either with pillars cast onto the base, or separate spacers that cover the screws. The other version of the giftware shown here is the pipe stand. Both these items can be found with the Y15 Rolls so mounted.

Yes, but don't stand there looking all Pensive, or you'll give the game away...
