Greetings

A brief newsletter this time, as I am packing for my annual vacation to New England.
Thanks for the feedback on embedding pictures, an overwhelming majority for using links rather than embedding.

Vectis prices realised for the South African #555 are now at Dinky_sa.asp
If that one that sold for $900+ is not a repaint, it is a very poor photo?

A new colour for 2002 was due for release in May, but I still haven't found a dealer with any stock

Following my question in the last NL - "Does a White Lightning exists of the '56 Hard top from the American Grafitti series?"
One has appeared on eBay, silly price already, the difference from the standard issue is that the Interior is white as opposed to Red on the Standard Issue but I am surprised that the Tyres don't have "White Lightning" printed on them

• Empire Models
• Skyline Models
• Tin Wizard

Nice models but a confusing lineage !

Good luck to the USA in their upcoming World Cup game,
And Let's all say "Ahhh" to France and Argentina for getting knocked out so early in the competition.
