Hello recently i have seen a few Minichamps Rossi honda 2000 models for sale claiming to be the original!! but infact they are the recent re-releases but without the rider figure some of the sellers are being very crafty and putting the re-release in the originals box to try and fool the unsuspecting buyer. so i thought i would share the differences so that people would know which was the original Rossi 2000 honda

1- On the Original Minichamps Rossi 2000 the steering damper is BLACK not Silver!!!

2-On the Original Minichamps Rossi 2000 there is NO blue stripe under the nastro azzuro decal  like the one above it,on the re release the blue stripe is above and below the nastro azzura decal on the side fairing.!!

3-On the Original Minichamps Rossi 2000 the back brake pedal is SILVER not black!!!

4-On the Original Minichamps Rossi 2000 the back brake caliper is SILVER not gold

5-On the Original Minichamps Rossi 2000 the exhaust tips are GOLD not silver!!!

6- On the Original Minichamps Rossi 2000 the wheels are  a darker grey

i hope this helps perspective buyers;-)
