Countach Tempa Colour
Hard To Find?
Tempa Tamper
I found this Mazda in a set I bought from Canada - it included 3 genuine colour trails (Cosmobile, Porsche 911 and Soopa Coopa). As you can see it only has the tempa on the headlight covers but under close inspection you can see the very light imprint on the paint of the full tempa design. However I have heard that these are very hard to remove so??? Anyway, it has purple glass, so it's rare anyway!

Thought I'd show how I document my collection. I take a photo of each piece as it comes in, and create a kind of trading card including all variation details, value and rarity ratings. All printed on photographic quality paper, 4x6in.
I would be willing to do the same for anybody else's collection, but it would cost about a £1 each (not including paper) as it is quite time consuming!

Alfa Carabo in Bertone Museum
Another Super-Rare box
I sold this about a year ago and immediately regretted it! If you look carefully it is in fact the No30 Japanese version of the Volkswagen Beetle, not the usual No15. If you have never handled one of these, the texture of the box is much like the later US only boxes, complete with easy to tear flaps! These are really quite expensive, this one went for over £100!

BOXES!
I love boxes! Yes I am a self-confessed cardboard collector. It's great that the images depicted are (generally) of the toy, not the car it's modeled on and that each toy gets it's own unique artwork, unlike today's generic packaging which is the same for every toy the world over.
Check out a selection of the toughest boxes you can find! Two Japanese Lamborghini Miura boxes, the later Dodge Dragster box, Japanese Maserati Bora and Ford GT40, generic Brazilian box and the elusive Dodge Dumper box, reputedly in print for a matter of weeks!
