Anyone been to the NEC ?

As I'm only about 30 mins away, I thought I'd have a run out to the NEC this morning. Personally I thought the Matchbox was a little thin on the the ground. However my recent obsession with the Porsche 910 and Lamborghini Marzal continues.
The boxed 910 is nearly mint and has solid thin wheels and really like the Pink Marzal..... I saw the Purple Dragster towards the end on my second walk round and have not got one, so it came home ;)

Did anyone else visit and find anything?

Hello everyone, sorry I haven't posted much lately. I went to the NEC on Sunday and found these below (apart from the Skoda which was from Exeter (I think) a few weeks ago)

I'm new to Japanese matchbox so I'm hoping that the Ford GT is Japanese (with wider arches similar to the tomato red version?) and I think the Orange Lotus is from a giftset.
I found a couple of F boxes and empty B boxes to add to my collection too. Any questions please ask.

Nice little collection from one toy fair. I see three Japanese boxed models, but I particularly like the UK market superfast models. The blue MG and the red Beetle look stunning, I bet they already have places in your collection :D
