Another new arrival!!
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!!

Sorry Alex to be a pain, can I have the wheel mould numbers please and I agree, these so often are tatty looking so its nice to see such a good example, well done for securing this one for the collection.

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...

Thanks for that Kevin, i am not sure why the image i posted turned out having such a blue tinge?. I have posted the wheel mould numbers in the SF chatroom mate.

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
Well done MM!!
