I have been focusing on Mercedes Benz, of late, and I decided it was time to pick up one of my favorites, a NEO 1934 RR PH II Continental DHC, bodied by another favorite, J. Gurney Nutting.  There are several color combos on offer, but this one stuck out for me and it is on its way, along with the others purchased recently.  There were only two listing pics, but I have bought from this seller before and I haven't had any surprises.  It was listed as 'New,' also.  I will take more pics when she arrives.

And, just for the fun of it, some of a 1933 1:1 Gurney Nutting PH II:

She arrived today, and unfortunately there is no ID number for this model.  It is rather unique, in that the right hand side spot/signal lamp is actually mounted on the engine cover and not the cowl just forward of the windshield, like the left side is mounted.  Odd, and I will endeavor to learn why this is so.  Anyway, here she is seconds before she was sequestered out of the way of M'sieur Not-so-Nimble's dangerous hands:

Exceptionally beautiful automobile and scale replica of it. A real standout in one's display without question.

@perrone1 & @mikedetorrice  She is a beauty and there is a green one I hope to add to the group at some later date.  The only one I found so far is one in the UK, where shipping is expensive, so I will wait.
