A nice find

The other day I bought 7 1-75 models the seller had only looked at them when he bought them when they were first issued.

Of the 7 four of them were very nice variations.

One of them was the 57b Chevrolet Impala with the Mid Blue base, I already had this one but the new one was mint-mint.

Here are the four base colours.

Here are the two same colour bases.

The one on the left is my old model.

Then there is the 66b Harley for ages I have looked for the base with-out the triangular casting in the corner, now I have two of them hurrah.

On Nicks variation site he has them as the first casting, I have looked at very many models but they all had the triangle cast.

The other one was a 36b Lambretta TV a variation I did not have.

So what with all the Birthday Wishes and these models I really had a great day.

Very nice Impala George, I know improving your collection is very difficult so it must be very satisfying when something like this pops up.
