Dear All

Thank you, hawthorns99, for your last post.

I have seen models where the bases have been swapped but this is only
feasible where the base is already loose or where it can be separated
from the car body without causing damage (all too easy with plastic
cars which have been glued together!).

I think the reason why many collectors will only swap rather than
sell (especially where rare cars are concerned) is because it is
often the only way to get other collectors to part with their
rare/scarce models. I recently obtained a white Rambler for my
collection, but only because I had a spare Rambler in a different
colour available as a replacement. If I had previously sold my spare
Rambler I would not have been able to acquire that white one which
has now enhanced my collection.

Best wishes
