#75 Ferrari Berlinetta Turqouise?

Post by rememberwhenshoppe »

Hello ,
I am new to the forums and may end up with a lot of questions. I fell in love with MATCHBOX cars about 5 yrs ago and have been heavily collecting them. One of my favorites is The Ferarri #75.
My Question is how do I tell the difference in the Rare color Turquoise Metallic I see listed and a light blue-green. Is there another Car that has the similar color I can try to match.
I have literally bought and sold about 50 of these trying to see the difference I think I have one now, but I'm not certain.

Any feedback or advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Brian

Hello Brian, welcome to the forum, yes a couple of good clear pictures of your model(s) can speak many words. When you get a few moments, have a look at this thread about photography, but if you have any questions, just ask, somebody will pick it up and hopefully give you some assistance, just click on this link...

If you check Nick's variation site, I believe you will see an example of the blue 75 Ferarri pictured there. The blue one is a rarity that is seldom seen. You may want to set your sights on a more common rare model rather than count on finding one of these. The red version in regular wheels is also quite rare, but they can be found mint for about 500 U.S. Your blue model is so rare, I have never seen one in person after 49 years of looking. If you have found one, it is one of the 'Holy Grails' of the Lesney color variation. kwakers
