Titel: Bestbox question Bericht door: Tyrolese op Maart 12, 2016, 04:31:30 My collection of Bestbox models is humble. 3 models, but those i like very much.
(http://up.picr.de/24848587ba.jpg) (http://up.picr.de/24848591fz.jpg) My questions are: is the green Jaguar an early model with silver wheels, or is the beige one older? Is the box a promo box which you could buy at Total gas stations? On the base of the Mercedes is written "best-box" on the Jaguars base it reads "Bestbox". Is this of any significance? Thanks for the info. Titel: Re:Bestbox question Bericht door: Christian op Maart 12, 2016, 05:25:56 3 very nice models!!!
3 very good questions also!! (unfortunately I have no concrete answers, better than I think the silver wheels are the earlier models, because Efsi continued the black wheels). The only thing I know is that I've never seen such beige colour on een Bestbox E-Type!! It must be een rare one... Titel: Re:Bestbox question Bericht door: VW_Dutchy op Maart 12, 2016, 05:48:32 try this link; http://www.best-box.nl/
or send member Hans a PB (personal message) he is most likely the one you need ask.. cheers Henk Titel: Re:Bestbox question Bericht door: Tyrolese op Maart 12, 2016, 06:32:32 Thanks Henk for the link.
Very interesting. I know very little about this brand. While every once in a while i find EFSI models at flea markets, it seems that Bestbox models are not existant here in my corner of the world. But for sure i would love to add more Bestbox to my collection. Titel: Re:Bestbox question Bericht door: hans op Maart 13, 2016, 10:24:57 Hi Tyrolese,
A very nice model this E-type, a rare colour and a beautiful box. The Bestbox models have also been issued in these Total boxes. Until now I only found some of these boxes in Germany. So I assume they were made for Total Germany and for sale at the gas stations. Perhaps anyone can confirm this? By the way: the Bestbox models with the silver wheels are older than with the black ones. Hope you found my website informative. Happy collecting! Hans. Titel: Re:Bestbox question Bericht door: Tyrolese op Maart 15, 2016, 09:04:28 Hans, i did find the Jaguar in Germany as well.
Your website is indeed very informative and it made my wish list a little longer for sure :notworthy: Titel: Re:Bestbox question Bericht door: Tyrolese op Oktober 30, 2016, 10:54:35 Yipieee, a new Best Box joins the collection
Mercedes in a darker blue shade: (http://up.picr.de/27286264ma.jpg) Titel: Re:Bestbox question Bericht door: VW_Dutchy op Oktober 31, 2016, 09:21:56 great addition and well done paint job in near mint condition
Titel: Re:Bestbox question Bericht door: Remko op November 01, 2016, 12:38:40 Great to see these in such good condition.
My brother and me had a lot of Best-boxes when we were young. Including the Mercedes (dark blue and olive green) and the green Jaguar (with black wheels, though) Most of them broke or were painted over. :crybaby2: I wish I had been more careful with them.

I know what you mean. Looking at my childhood survivors makes me feel the same. But the fun and joy was priceless! |
