i won me this a week ago: this is proper super rare. It's one of the very early Siku models with black plastic wheels etc, and jewelled headlights. I have one headlight in it, and a spare box should provide another. Question, do I leave it, do i restore it, do i repaint it another colour? Difficult decision for me.
