I've been working on this for awhile, but it has been slow and expensive to gather all the versions of this casting. I have a couple more I need to get to finish the collection.

they are very popular and so hard to come by in good condition. I also need the blue car with the Monte Carlo sticker on it. stuart

Well done Billy, thats a very fine white Rally car - they fetch around $50 in that condition at our toyfairs,very lovely and desirable.Did you know that Kiko in Brazil took this tooling over from Corgi and made some yellow ones with black baseplates into the early 1980s?
So now you need the Rockets oo7 car, which tends to come cheapest on ebay in mixed lots from the UK, and the white seat blue car........
The cars with the Monte Carlo stickers are also a casting variation - no rivits in the baseplate unlike the rest of the later blue issues.

Thanks Mic! You are right, I need the 007, the white int.-blue Escort and the Kiko and I'll have them all. A near mint Kiko with box sold for @70.00 UK. pounds on the 'bay last month. The red int. blue car in my pic has no rivets.
