Dan i dont recall the #55 having a patrol officer in full coloured uniform sitting waiting for his next coffee and doughnut!!! :D :lol:

At least his uniform matches the colour of the domes on his motor!! ;)

Brilliant Dan if i were you i would leave it as it looks a nice display piece. By the way have they repainted the interior as well? It looks an orangy colour?

Surely the tractor with large rear hubs is a gem so it should not be in the picture. Great find Dan, That's one I am still looking for.

correct!

the joke part of the thread was...there are more gems than non gems and most people post a lot of cars with one gem and a bunch of common models... the above pic has 4 gems out of 6 models

the two #3 bedfords...one has the small three
