As I've said several times previously, will Members please not post just links (as in the above post). Once the listing has disappeared from Ebay, the whole topic becomes meaningless. Please ensure links such as the above are accompanied by at least one photograoh from the listing (and ideaaly more).

When I scroll down past the adverts the original listing is shown. Sometimes the link holds more than the first screen shows!

Here is the picture. It sold for an incredible GBP621.63 (approx.US$815.00). There are some with very deep pockets who collect the rare items only.

That is correct but, eventually, the listing will be deleted (and potentially the images will disappear before that), leaving us with a thread, the critical first post of which contains a broken link. That is why posting images in topics such as this is so important.

Expensive, but personally I'd choose this prepro transporter over the prepro / colour trial Ferrari

That transporter is shown in one of the Canadian trade catalogues from 1969/70.

I have a question for the goodly folk of the forum to consider: the grey and red K11 is a pre-pro but my blue and silver version is also a pre-pro, so is the grey and red one a pre-pre-pro?
