We thought you might be interested in reading
this topic on our message board that start about the Clear Road Hauler on Ebay and then became an explanation of the so called "Lunch Time Specials" that we all consider to be fakes. Well Paul Hitchen"s (Space-Bridge) has another side of the story regarding these and how they come about. Paul is well known for having some extremely rare pieces in his impressive collection and knowledge on the ins and outs of these types of things so it makes an interesting read
