Did I do well? :D :D
An excellent pair, Alex!

The desirability of the Group 6 is well documented but I think the gold RW Miura is an under-rated model. I'll bet these were made in similar numbers but it's certainly not reflected in its value.

Got this #66 rare box and model very cheaply. One of these boxes sold for over £100 recently. I paid a third of that and got a minty coach with it :D :D

Great models Al, the 66a Greyhound has perfect labels as they often suffer from glue bleed, the F box is also a tough one to find. The best of the bunch is the 69a Porsche 910 with 137 label, a rare item. I have shown photo of the one I had, your one looks to have dark amber glass as opposed to the light amber one I had.
