ihatepoundland Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 JUst out of interest, who on here has one, or has even seen one? (not in a book FB! ) What do you reckon one would make on ebay? has there ever been one on there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Ive seen two before, they were both in regular mb trac boxes and had no plinth at all. They were gold aswell and had not turned silver like the pullen book example. They sold for ?1400 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted August 22, 2005 Author Share Posted August 22, 2005 Thats odd isn't it? That they didn't have a plinth? I'm guessing if one MB Trac was given to each MB dealer there can only be around 250 in existance, less if only MB Trac dealers. Did you get any idea of what the coating is when you saw them? could one be made in a similar way to the Gold fastracs etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 According to Britains there were only 150 made and some were released as just a model for the proper vehicle rather than the RASE gold medal, im not sure whether Britains included the plinth with the models or whether they were added afterwards. As for the coating, it appeared to be very similar to the gold fastracs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted August 22, 2005 Author Share Posted August 22, 2005 So someone with the right tools and knowhow could build a replica that is impossible to distinguish from the original - and I bet there's a demand for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I see no reason why anyone couldnt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
