Local Purchases

I have a few saved searches setup on Trademe (New Zealand's auction website similar to eBay) and one morning found a local seller had a Speed Machine I needed up for auction. I promptly setup a bid and then looked up his other listings and made a short list of what I wanted. 6 days later, I managed to win the Speed Machine along with several other auctions and organised to meetup with the seller to purchase.

While I was at the sellers house, I asked if he had any more Speed Machines and after a quick search, three more were added to my pile. Eventually (after a long conversation) I paid for the purchases and left.

So good to be able to add more Speed Machines to the collection considering the cost that these can reach on overseas auction sites. All aside from the Ferrari 333SP will stay in the sealed collection while I will probably open the 333SP and display with the rest of the open Speed Machines.

The rest of the purchases were mainly there to justify the purchase of the Speed Machine once it was confirmed won. Originally had many other mainline Ferraris from the seller on the wish list, but decided that I didn't need to add them - none of them sold, so they may still end up coming home with me one day...
