I saw these when you posted them on Facebook, but they look even better in larger format on my PC. I really like the Porsche.

It’s been a good week! Firstly a minty example of the SF#50 Articulated Truck with 5 spoke wheels all round and secondly a variation of the SF#29 Racing Mini that I have been after for years the code 2 promo in gold.

Supposedly they were produced for an abortive Swedish promotional.
Interestingly, there is some evidence that, rather than being specially painted, they might simply be standard models without the top coat (here).
