Yesterday I found same model as this (don't find my camera)

Mine misses the rear wing. Is this rare because it's the first time I found one in 20 years. Has anyone the same model ?

Picture removed due a seller who lives in Greece, recently made team matchbox models (design models) fakes.

Hard to find in flat red. Such a shame the rear spoiler is missing.

Showing the top of the model I think makes no difference as they can be found elsewhere on the net anyway.
I tend not to show the base now or maybe some prepro colours but even they can be found on auction site history.
Shame but you have to do what you feel is best.

He has copied many prepro models over the years, I think people have even tried to sell his ones as genuine which even upset him at one stage if i remember correctly.

I own this genuine example but it has the standard #24 baseplate. The example you show looks like a resin prototype on a modified #34 baseplate. Very unusual.
