What is the base like, looks to be a late casting without opening boot and doors, could be a Bulgarian issue

Hi Guys, it certainly looks similar to the model in the link. We still need to see a good clear picture of the baseplate, to reach any further conclusions on the example shown here.

It certainly looks interesting, with the silver 5 arch wheels and green glazing.......lets see what the base shot tells us.

with respect it's not the one in the link ,unless the one you show has an opening boot/trunk which to me it looks like it does not
but all is not lost check out this one on Christians site cast shut boot and doors green windows , looks like you have found a prepro but not the one you thought

Hallo Pierkemimi


Shock to such an opportunity may never come again.The price is certainly between 300 to 400 pounds and he's a prepro original.

Cheers Mathias
