Cab lining does not join on the one on the right

must've had too much on my plate when I made this photo.


Remind me to air them at some point.

No black mudguards.











Only on steering wheel. Most of the prototypes had two steering machanisms.



Maybe someone forgot to add them mudguards.

Never seen one with two steering wheels, but the fact that the base is riveted on without the mudguards is interesting, someone at matchbox must have been slacking! Might be a rarity haha

It is now making me wonder what has happen as when I was looking at the variety list when I had purchased this Yesteryear for only $3.00 AUD. I couldn't find any reference to it and thought it might be the latter addition. Then again the last two issues were Bass & Co and Burghfield Mills made in Macau.

well Jim, if you don't want the 'factory error' you can always flog it off to me if you like

On this one, where is the variation?
The No 20 is a thicker font on the right one and it also has a bump or knob that is not on the one on the left. Tha cab stripe is also much lower on the right one and not very straight.
