I really like this one ! It sure has the colors (and top-down convertible look) that echoes the American "Fifties"-style car look that one attaches to that era.

This one was another favorite back in the day; I have this one MBx2.  It is odd though that they didn't bother to "erase" the rear door lines.

This is a cute little scooter.  I have it but was not aware of the silver version.

Hi Ed. Here is the silver one. Not mine. I only have the green. Some of the silver ones had a green tint.

These two are great.  Another two I had MB and  lost.  Very hard to replace; especially the purple one.

A very nice one here ! I have one of these Vauxhall station wagons in red, although the yellow color had been quickly overpainted in red for use in an industrial/display model setting.
