That's nice mm. I think these are a little underrated, but they're a good looking model.

Thanks guys. Do you know this was a favourite model of mine, and it had quite a bit of play value as a kid filling the spreader with sand in the back garden. I suppose that is why so many play worn examples exist.GHOSTHUNTER wrote:Red axle clips, very nice.

Dear Alex, Motorman (over 50 years old now), it is nice to learn that you are very happy with you latest find(s).
I congratulate you on this addition to your presumably quality and vast collection.
Don't shoot me for having no knowledge about Superfast Matchbox model cars, so I cannot comment on rarity, details or whatever.
As you might know I am more the regular guy.
Cheers,
Gerrit.

Re: MOTORMANS FINDS
I have not posted many new finds of late because i have been a bit busy with a house move. Anyway that didn't stop me picking up the odd piece here and there including a few real crackers (i will save those for later), here are a few neat finds i especially love the pink #8 with the unpainted base, which is quite hard to find in this condition, enjoy!

A nice #14 Grifo, these are a bugger to find without paint chips to the front edge of the bonnet, (Hood for my American friends!!)

Those look like early wheels to me.motorman wrote:A nice #14 Grifo, these are a bugger to find without paint chips to the front edge of the bonnet.
Re: MOTORMANS FINDS
Hugh, this one has a mixture of solid 11 x 2 wheels to front and hollow 11 x 2 to rear. It is not uncommon to find the #14 with a combination of solid and hollow wheels.
