Arrived this morning, bought from another member, this #32 Maserati Bora with extremely rare green metallic baseplate, I have done a comparison shot which shows the difference nicely.

And another from the same person, this extremely hard to find #62 Chevrolet Corvette with no tampo print, no ‘Corvette’ or number plate cast. I recognise this as perhaps being in the ownership of another member here previously in addition to the person I bought it from, so I am delighted to be the next custodian.

Congratulation.
As always, great additions Motorman. I also took a look at the models in question, but I hesitated.

I’ve picked up a few nice items the past few weeks during the lock down. This extremely rare international blister card for the #49 Chop Suey with chrome handlebars tops everything and blew my budget out of the water. I’ve spoken with a couple of blister card gurus who have both confirmed that this is an exceptionally hard to find card and model combination.

I also picked up this nice #63 Freeway Tanker with BP labels and 5 spoke wheels to front and rear. This one came in an Italian issue picture box.
