Pre-production model of 4780 on eBay. A bit battered, but it looks a very detailed model, with advert on the rear and that little cartoon boy on the back from a few summers ago

Something to do with NetworkWM, they had a scheme where children had to spot the cartoon boy, named Theo, and see how manythey could see over the holidays... Great Model!

Ohh, I see, I saw loads around I thought it was just people sticker bombing the place. Like random stickers on street signs and name plates in Digbeth. For a similar scene I expect.

I got one a year ago with a certificate but mine is missing the woman on the rear window!?

I noticed 4780 on ebay. Think I will wait for the production one seeing how battered it is, unless tony will sell me his :D
