That 'WIKING' Silver Wraith and the other Two with White tyres (lookinng like 'REVELL-PRALINE'), fit the transporter quite well.

A very nice job and some decals with finish it off nicely. (I wonder why Lesney never made a ramp for the transporter?)

Last week I finished this yellow and blue code 3 Matchbox Accessory Pack car transporter but it lacked transfers on the side of the trailer.
Well I solved that with a set from the Matchbox Guy car transporter by modifying the transfer a little bit here and there.

That meant that I had a part of the transfer left for further use, well that went on my next finished code 3 car transporter of today, dark blue metallic/anthracite:

You do know that 'Measham Car Auctions' (now known as BCA Measham), are still in business and based in Derbyshire, a previous home for Rolls-Royce cars, so what a nice connection between your transporters and the models it is carrying!

That silver trim must take a steady hand. Enjoy.

How about a transporter group shot?

Your wish is my command.
Here are the code 3 car transporters.
By the way, those in the background cabinets are not code 3, but originals, albeit that I do not have the BPW tractor only the trailer, so I swapped that with a Thames Trader instead. I am presently working on yet another code 3 car transporter (probably the last), that one will also have a Ford Thames Trader tractor.
