zBret -Bottom of the Barrel finds

[johnboy]

Gene how did you miss that at the bottom of your barrel it's huge!!!!

It's a huge barrel with a big bottom (if you'll pardon the expression). Nice find zB

[zBret]

Yup, could be anything down there!

Never thought I would have one of these beauties. Though not quite found at the bottom of the barrel.. more like it bubbled to the top and I was able to fish it out
It believe it to be a genuine, Nicks code 18.
Has to be one of my favorite 1-75 RW with all those lovely curvy lines
Unfortunately missing the driver.

Looks good Gene congratulations, it should be simple enough to obtain a replacement original driver to complete your model.

Very nice find, especially in that condition. It looks great.

[Ergomatic]

Yes, very nice!

My small MoY collection has just grown a bit, as over the weekend I received 8 MoY models, which I bought as a group lot.
Among them, this one, which I believe is an "apple green" version of the Y5-2 Bentley


I'm sure our Ghosty can tell me a bit more about my acquisition, as from reading his posts he apparently has a whole fleet of them and goes as green as the car, when someone finds one at bottom of the barrel price

That's a nice clean apple Bentley. I have 4 versions of it, but there are more I think. Ghosty is off line currently, but will be back.

[zBret]

Thanks Bob. Will be looking forward to finding out more as I am just beginning to acquire a few of these Yesteryear models and finding them quite interesting.

Congratulations zbret! Very nice finds. The red hub jag is one of the holy grails. Never even seen one in first person yet.
Enjoy!
