With as much fuss as I've seen around here over this casting, when I saw this one I figured it was a good bet:![]() Especially since I hadn't seen this particular color variation before...I guess it helps its a Euro promo edition, not sure German or Dutch.

If I recall it was a Dutch BP promo issue. I owned a Dodge Caravan in the '80's so kind of partial to this casting. |

Wow! I have several variations and colors of this castings but lack this one. Very nice. My Dad has owned several of these over the years. |

I am guessing this one won't become part of the DLM, will it? |

Not on my watch...unless something unforeseen ruins the package. But it's staying with the premium end pieces, so hopefully that threat is minimized! |

Very cool! Yes, that is Dutch...the phrase at the bottom translates to "We hope to see you back" Here in NY you can now title the earliest Caravans as Classics...the rule here is anything 25 years old and older. Random slightly related fact for the day

DLM! DLM! DLM! See how nice it is out of the package?? (Lighting details added on most of these shown) ![]() ![]() ![]() Here are more BP promotional issues. I am pretty sure that the Mercedes, Lamborghini, Nissan, and Porsche are all from the same Dutch promo, originally on these same cards. And I think the others are from a different promo release.

Is this where the blue Audi Quattro paint-over fits in? I picked up a piece awhile back, seller said the BP logo was painted over by MBX because the casting (or issue) was refused by BP...supposedly rare because of it. |

There was an additional scheduled/canceled promo release, different from the ones I have shown, including the Audi and several other cars, which had the BP tampo covered up, and released as regular issues. |

I know this isn't Matchbox, but if you want the entire BP collection, you have to get this one, too. ![]() Racing Champions 2001 Dave Blaney. |
