I just found that article and site in a little research I was doing - always interested in more Information on any brands.

To bad about the auction though.

Well, I wasn't going to pay too much. Sure, it's rare, it's old, but at the end of the day it's a shell. When I look at the craftsmanship and the detail, I just don't want to pay too much. A nice real Lesney, possibly with box, costs about the same, so I prefer that.
