Thanks. I limit my collection to older models, but I still like to show off, maybe hoping that an expert will point out weird variant that I didn't know about.

Can I ask all of those that have 68b Mercedes coaches with cream plastic roofs and / or interiors to let me know what variation they are so I can add them to the variation table, Thank you.
