I know it was great and very legal. Last time I touched some nice models, I had a big burly Policeman breathing down my back...!

OMG i have to say that having looked through both of Grizzlys auction listings, i am somewhat disappointed as i see very few ultra rares amongst the lots for sale, not to mention a few very dubious model and label combinations, and a some rather oddly undervalued model and box combos??? Just what is going on????

Alex, did you see the estimate for the Group 6 in flat (normal) Green...£1600-£2000...if I remember correctly.

Yes i did, slightly on the high side IMHO. having looked through the catalogue some of the estimations are just ,,,,,,,wrong?? There is lots of standard stuff at standered estimates but there are a couple of very rare box and model combo that have been estimated way too low IMHO,

All in, this is no way in the same league as Ralphs RW Auction. :( :(

It appears to be the actual example from the 'Grizzly' collection used on the cover, so it has the wide 'Superfast' wheels.
