A hard to find variation is the #68 Porsche with clear glass (took me a while to find one) and another of mine the #68 with GS labels attached.

I understand the concept behind those 'Broomstick' models, but how do they become separated from the awkward packaging and the tether and presumably the one shown by Alex above has had to be stored in ideal conditions waiting for a suitable box to come along.

BTW, very nice Porsches Alex.
