Lonestar Firenza

[motorman]

there seems to be 2 bidders with deep pockets getting into lone star

Cheer up Reg as there will always be nice Firenza-buys coming your way

I wouldnt spend that kinda money on played-with Firenzas especially knowing that they could possibly have been thru organ transplants let alone missing their original boxes.Each unto their own i guess.
Im still on my first minter

Here i was after a Firenza and found this cracker hiding out . Is this the rarer one that was mentioned ? I wish it had a bonnet but i will make one from a later matchbox vette and fit .

yes that is the rare stingray , better to look for a later impy version of this (much like the matchbox gt range) the bonnet is cast shut but is the same size (matchbox is a smaller scale ) nice find in any condition in that harder to find colour

think this is the one Kev maybe a bit high for an unboxed one but these do have a cult following and lone stars are creeping up in general (people getting fed up with lesney fakes i wonder ? )
