I'd been looking for years too. Finally found the red one here on the local ebay at a fair price a few months back. Pics really bring the model to life Rich.

One of my most favorite cars and models, have all the colors: red, white, blue, black, yellow. There were easier to find few years ago, now they rarely show for sale.

I was working on a top for the 1:24, probably have it 80% done ... one of the many unfinished projects I have ...

WOW!!! That's a surprise, Bob. I thought you'd have been all over these 1/24 CMCs.

Me too Rich. I can't for the life of me remember how I missed this one. Brain fart I suppose.

Richard I have both the blue one and white.  I have the original LE white black top Red interior though.  I believe your white one is the reissued one with off white interior.  Am I correct ????

In the last 5 years or so (I'm now 75), minutia like that would just make me go to our review section to at least verify.A huge chunk of diecast trivia that's probably still in my brain somewhere, is now beyond my ability to access.

@rich-sufficool I think you misunderstood my post.  I wasn’t asking which version was an LE or came first.  I simply wanted to know if your white version has the red interior or White interior?  If   It’s white inside then it’s the reissued one, not the original release.   Just FYI  for all

@phil-r OK. So you were telling me, not asking me. LOL Perhaps mine was a re-release by that company that used the CMC tooling under license... wasn't the name Vanbo? As I said my memory is shot so it was better you told me than asked me.
