I really liked this casting, but felt it was completely let down by the chrome interior. My real 1:1 E-type does not have a chrome interior, and my vintage Lesney E-type doesn't either. Still, thanks for sharing the pic - they look really nice as a group. |

A little bit of bleach deals with chrome nicely. |

That there is one wonderful casting! Far as I know I have all the varys of this one. I agree that MB should have made the interior, say, black but then the bumpers would be black as they are saving money with just one cast of bumpers/interior.

The bumpers could have been tampo'd and would have looked just fine. |

I've got 19 in my display and I know there's at least 1 that I don't have that was in a 5-pack found only in Canada, and I'll bet there's more. I stopped looking for them years ago. Here's what I've got:![]() If you need a close up of any, let me know the number and I'll shoot one.

Very nice RV! Thanks for that photo, I see 6 I know I do not have. Did not know there are 3 red ones. And I see #2 and 4 are a wheel vary. |

The very first issue in red (2006) had a variation in the license plate. One said "61 JAGUAR" and the other said "FAJ17U1R" (Code for 61 Jaguar). If that is considered a valid variation, then I actually have 19 total.

I seem to remember that 61 JAGUAR plate on the first issue, but I never found one. The three that look red are actually red (the very first version), orange and metallic red (which I think was in a 10 pack): ![]() That metallic red is a very close tribute to the original regular wheel model (minus the chrome interior) :![]() I think the wheel variations on the gray were from 5 packs: ![]() I hope I don't find more variations since my display is full on that side.

Thanks so much for those photos. I know I don't have the 10 pack version and the different plate. I know i have the orange. Not sure about the 5-pack one. I need to make a list and check it twice......LOL Such a fine casting! |
