those ebay ones would be the rarest set of mini wheel in the country i reckon - never used mambas in australia? Doubt there are many new ones in boxes even in the uk.


I actually know someone - who I won't disclose - that has a set of brand new unused mamba's still in the original box - so there is at least one more set out there. Don't bother asking as he's into mini's and he knows that they are "worth a fortune". Can't remember if they were 5 or 6" though.

I can remember in the early 80's that Karcraft used to import Mambas.
