Is this genuine, it certainly looks a genuine piece however

It has no dome and no hole for a dome? and yet has all the correct bonnet and boot colours. Is it a Pre pro??
I cannot recall ever seeing a #45 polizie with no dome before and i am interested to hear the thoughts of the members.

as I said in the other thread I am not convinced knowing the seller and his dubious descriptions as in this one

Agreed Reg......and yet it cannot be easy to take a standard #45 Polizie, remove the dome and refill the roof hole.

Has a playworn "Manhalter" been used as a donor.....just a thought??

Mick where are you when we need you?..........oooops it's 1.30 in the morning, probably in bed. Sorry Mick.

Shooosh eveyone!!!

Hallo Alex

Some few were already so in the trade, mainly in Germany, it is the original model Manhalter Austria.

Hello fixer

The Carabo is bleached by the sun.

Another well known faker, avoid at all costs.

I somehow seem to have missed this post when it first came on.
Although I cannot say whether this particular example is genuine or not, this variation does exist as a pre-production/development version of the Polizei BMW. (I know because I have one, bought in the early 1980s at the LMC.)

You haven't missed it Idris it was just a passing comment elsewhere. Not saying that it is fake just wouldn't be confident to pay that sort of money from that source
