Cab lining does not join on the one on the right

Well done! Congratulation.

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

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.

Drak you might like to look here, there are plenty to look at.

Thanks Malcolm, that kept me out of mischief for awhile and I learnt heaps.

This is for sale on ebay, I think it's questionable but they sure want a lot of money for it.


It's supposed to be a Pre Pro mock up.

Got the link or list number?

I saw this page a while back.

Scroll down to 25/1 Renault and you'll see this one does not quite fit the current pre-pro.

There are more experts in the field.

It's a Fake.. Why? Renault front end with a Model T ford back, Renaults had Squarish windows not round ones like the Model T.

Here are a couple of pics showing the difference 1st the Model T version and 2nd the Renault to compare :
