Another new arrival!! :D

I have been looking out for a nice mint version of the SF#55 Mercury Police car with the blue light dome. These are almost always found with paint chips, this one has a couple of tiny flea bites and no sign of any touch ups so i am very very pleased and it comes in a nice crisp type F box. Superb!!

Very nice mm! It isn't easy to find these in top condition, I think it's because they were a lot of fun to play with, (acting out all those high speed pursuits) :)

That's alright Alex in your own time. I have noticed your photographicing machine has been tricked into giving the picture the wrong colour cast, so I have got my computering thingy and adjusted it for you... :D

Wow...congrats MM on finding these 2x lovely specimens.
The Sf55 is almost impossible to find in mint condition and the #27 yellow Merc is a stunner and Vhtf with those narrow wheels & wide arches :mrgreen:
Well done MM!! :D
