I have a #39 Rolls-Royce in the same box as above and it has always been accepted as a box design used in Spain and the only way I would know that is from the text on the box.

I am unable to get my black and white striped box to double check, it is in storage and I only have a picture of the front, not the rear or bottom of the box.

Thanks Kevin, is this one that you have in your collection?
The black and white striped box was an Italian issue buddy as far as I am aware.

No Alex, I am afraid my current budget will not stretch to aquiring the model in my picture. Regards the black and white striped box, I will try and get mine out of storage and check the text, Spanish or Italian.

Thanks Dave for checking your boxes. Seems I have had my #39 Rolls-Royce picture incorrectly titled :o

A couple of arrivals this week, a very nice #29 Racing Mini with rare dot/dash wheels and a pre pro #34 Chevy Pro-stocker, bought from another member here.
