Yeah there has been a couple on ebay.

Just be sure you don't get excited and start trying to find one in the shops, as you wont find one as they are a Code 3.

Doogie,

It appears to be a normal matchbox model that has been removed from the packet, modified and put back in the packet hence the "Code 3" description.

Basically, code 1 is the original factory item, code 2 is a factory approved and official relaease mod and code 3 means someone without factory approval modifies the model and sell it, normally making a number of them and some code 3's are still well sought after.
