THESE DO NOT BELONG TO ME :rolleyes:
All of the common issues of the Cooper Jarrett have dark blue opening rear doors - these dont! This guy who owns these collects 1/43, so he will probably flip these 2 sets soon........2007 has been a superb year for seeing other collector´s collections and doing trades :)
I missed out on both of these on a local online Auction site - the c9.5 boxed silver doors silver trailer issue sold for a mere 175 krone which is US$30 last month (in a week that I had bought so much new that I didnt look online at all :cool: ) and the c8.5 boxed gray trailer with gray doors issue went for 280kr last year US$45.When they go on ebay I wonder how high experts here forsee the bidders going?

Interesting rarities - thanks!
I noticed the wheels are different on one as well. Common variation?

The earliest issues had the wonderful moulded double rears with shaped rims, and near the end of the castings life along came standard påttern bpw.
This is a fine toy - shame the doors broke off so easily ..... the fine silver unit has lost one door or perhaps never had one fitted
