then markets limited run of cheap copies on a theme

legit i suppose as no infringements

thats my guess :D
And it's a wrong guess.

As stated above, it's a "Code 3", meaning it's an original 1960s model that has been repainted and offered in newly designed packaging. It's actually quite well done (if it was an Interceptor), but look at original Thrushbusters models on Ebay for a price comparison, and they are the real thing.
"design and concept by cts" on the card led me to the view i had, that way its declaring its not original.

My goodness this is hard work!

It's an original Dinky. Full stop.

On the card, the words "design and concept by cts" are the design and concept of the box and package and "concept" of this Dinky FF actually being the Protectors' Interceptor.

It's only fun Keith,

if you say so, I agree with you.

On ebay a Dinky Jensen interceptor model car (but in fact it's the design of the FF) is for sale in yellow/orange for GBP 29,99 with original plastic box. The wheels are made more nicely, painted in silver/black.

So this guy (CTS) repaints them (to be honest not in a good quality), puts his cartonage around, as described before total costs max GPB 50 and sells it for GPB 379, you can say a good margin - others will say cheating the customer....

Have a nice day
Wolfgang

A real nice convertible made by Oxford is sold for around € 60 - I ordered one, perhaps in winter time I'll paint him in the colours of mine - thanks for the hint :D
