I know Alex has one of these but worth showing again. I found this many years ago in USA at the York show and it was in a sealed blisterpack, I took it out and gave it a box. Very hard to find with the black wheels.

I dislike blister packs but surely it would have been better left in the original one if it was still sealed

Purely a matter of choice really, some collectors like leaving models in packs and some like to take them out for displaying. I personally liked all my models to be out of packaging and on display with boxes. I also opened Twinpacks and did the same with them. Later on I collected a lot of models again and this time kept them in sealed Twinpacks.

Prepro or Mack variation number 5 ??? The jury is still out!

Chromed and unchromed engine.

I like the unchromed engine Steve - never noticed that before. Not so sure about the sellotape holding the label onto the other model though...

Cheers,

I agree with Gavin, that Sellotape can't possibly be original, it has not gone Amber-Yellow with age...

For the sake of completeness,
Lesney Casting 45 (the amendment is up to you - in my eyes is this "C", because the Ford is A and the BMW is B)
The Kenworth Cabover:
The base plate says 1981.
