Charlie, I have the bronze version as a giftware item. It was shown in a late catalogue and took me years to find one but has the cast in base columns for mounting onto the giftware. The catalogue also showed the plated Stuka and still looking for one of them to go with my Spitfire.

Hi Mick,
You are correct wrt the plated SB7 Junkers Ju87 Stuka, it is certainly not easy to find. I have checked my plated skybusters and these are the ones I found although there is also another variation of the SB10 Boeing with BOAC titles.
I do not recall ever seeing the K24 Lamborghini Miura as a giftware item. The only kingsize models that I have in giftware are the K37A Sand Cat and the K50A Street Rod.
Charlie

It appeared only in the 1971 Giftware catalog mate but it say it will appear later so think not many were made. Mine never came on the blue tray shown but on another one so I changed it to a dark blue heart shaped one.

and the Junkers & Spitfire were in the 74 catalog

Nice line up Charlie and very appropriate you should post this model before the end of 2016 being the 50th birthday of the real Lamborghini Miura earlier this year. Most definitely one of the nicest vehicle designs and pretty well represented by Lesney.

Just revised the post and added pictures of variations #13, #18 and #22 which I have accumulated during the year (2017).

Hi Charlie,
Also the unpainted base can be found with Superfast instead of Speedkings on the earlier models(Metallic Red Body).

Very nice finds, easy to overlook especially the blue/yellow body with different base.
This is the first time I have seen K24A Lamborghini Miura sporting Maltese cross wheels.
