:thumbup: :thumbup: Looks really good! Do you have an older issue to do a side by side comparison? The chrome 8 spoke wheels on box art again look better to me, was it ever released with those wheels?

If so, in this particular issue, I haven't seen it. This style of wheel as displayed did not last long.

I have this one in the same colour. I think it's the best the casting has ever looked, but I wish Matchbox had removed the sirens from the roof instead of just re-colouring them. I was thinking of customizing mine - in silver with blingy wheels and without the sirens.

Agreed all around.

And yes, this casting was around since the early '80s and was issued with the 8 spokes. Just not this particular variation (which was Superfast and only came with these rims).

I think it would look best in black. There are a couple of them in Princeton in black, and it really stands out.
