Third Christmas model: Premium ClassiXXs Gulf-John Wyer Race Car Transporter
A month or so ago I queried this forum as to the authenticity of this and, based on responses from Karl and others, decided it was worth pursuing. I definitely needed this one to go with my JW-Gulf "sub-collection" and may need to invest in the Spark motorhome from the same era, which was also depicted in the McQueen movie "Le Mans". I don't have any 1970 Gulf LM cars (come on Minichamps and/or AutoArt, get with the program!) so I've posed my 3 1971 Minichamps models in the pics.

Great set Harvey - I've recently purchased the Spark AEC transporter to pair with the PC
Incidentally, have you seen the prices the Gulf longtails go for on ebay? They are two models I want, but, not at any cost!

Yes, I had a sad exprerience with the No. 17 car
An extra that I sold on ebay for big bucks. The French buyer was offered insurance, didn't purchase it, and said he never got it. You can guess who PayPal sided with. Suffice to say shipments over a certain value must now be insured, which cranks up overseas costs immensely.
