Superb find Al of a very rare piece, well done

Thanks JB, Sven and Rob, appreciate your comments

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.

Glad you like them Rob

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.

The Mini is fabulous and of course because its yours Alex, in stunning condition. Great find young Man!

Ghosty.

Love the Mini Alex, it looks superb

Thanks Kevin and John, I have wanted to add the mini to my collection for years so when I saw it listed I had to have it.

That Mini is lovely! What’s the story behind these gold Minis?

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).
