Re: The 'Holy Grail' Listing.
Hi, I wouldn't say this is rare, but at the moment you can't find one on ebay. Maybe "hard to find".
Woud be nice to know, if there is a version in off white with windows and without spare wheel.

Re: The 'Holy Grail' Listing.
Here's how to get your 'Long Seat' #69 droptop Rolls-Royce.
Go to ebay. Choose a nice looking model in blue. Check for a picture showing the boot open and keep your fingers crossed. Find the picture of the base to confirm. Yes, this model has the 'Long Seat' moulding. Click the Buy it now and wait for delivery! It really is that easy

Re: The 'Holy Grail' Listing.
...and here is that model from the above posting.
Arrived this morning to now make four examples in my collection but is in fact a new variation! What makes this a new variation is the fact the seat moulding has been fitted into the second body casting (see the images below for 1st and 2nd body casting details), while all my others and the other examples I know about have the first body casting.

Re: The 'Holy Grail' Listing.
I believe this justifies as a holy grail! Very late issue No. 41 Ford GT in yellow, dot-dash wheels and a black Lesney England base. These were only found in multipacks and at the time of release could only be found in an small area of Italy although I found this one in a job lot in France.
Re: The 'Holy Grail' Listing.
A very recent grail piece for me, this minty first issue Superfast #5 Lotus Euros with open front bumper cast, no side sills, open tow slot and the very rare baseplate with no ‘Superfast’ text thereon.

Re: The 'Holy Grail' Listing.
Its ticking all the right boxes then!
Re: The 'Holy Grail' Listing.
Another grail piece for my collection arrived this week, a minty first issue light metallic blue Superfast #53 Ford Zodiac, with impeccable provenance, a superb genuine and very rare issue.
