BIRTHDAY FIRST - NEW DISCOVERY: YELLOW AND PURPLE CENTURY 21 PROBE FORCE 3


Swordheads, there will be a few new discoveries being revealed during the first blogiversary month and here's the first! It's a corker too - I recently discovered this lurking in the sold archive of Astons Auctioneers; a Century 21 Probe Force 3 in yellow and purple colouring! Wow! Even missing its wings, which, based on the bit available, I assume were yellow and purple too, I think it looks stunning but its the sort of bright colour scheme I associate more with Tarheel than C21. Chris Aston of the auction house kindly supplied this much bigger picture and informed me that, along with the C21 Sam Loover car, the lot made a handsome £460 plus buyers premium, which I imagine was mostly for the Sam's car. Anymore colour variations out there?
