As a few you have seen - I managed to pic up a very rare variant of the 1153 automatic Carrera a few weeks back.
Apparently only a few of the 1153SN's have been seen in the wild - we have all seen the still very rare but slightly more common 1153BN. I've been after a good BN for a while and after picking up the SN I decided to be a bit more proactive.
This one arrived on Thursday and I really wanted to get a few photo's up with the two side by side.
The SN and BN never appeared in any catalog. Maybe they were prototype models that never got launched into full production - all I know is that they have great aesthetic appeal much like the cal. 15 exotic.
Who knows maybe in a few years they will refer to these as the Carrera 1153 Exotics - (I know - I see the eyeballs rolling)
Anyway - I thought I'd share a few pics.
Best,
Lanny
