Clear windows (instead of green) and a very raw looking base.
Could we please have photographs of the base and rear?

Untinted or lightly brown tinted glazings - even standard green tinted windows were clear (ie transparent) not smoked

Take a look at the join between the windscreen and the door window - looks like actually separate completely flat slabs of plastic which really would prove this a pre-pro NOT a colour trial if the underside is corrrect too.....

...or, alternatively, could end up confirming it as a fake.
We need more photographs!

why would a prepro have bracing...wouldnt it be more like this without the bracing?

Please use a web hosting site (like photobucket) to store pictures so you can post them here, using attachments makes it hard to view the pictures when you have to scroll to see them. Seeing comparisons of models is hard to see with attachments too.

Just what I was thinking. Hardy's/Harvey's does not have the rear axle braces. Furthermore, from these photographs, it is unclear to me whether the baseplate locating bosses (immediately behind the front bumper) are present. I also note that it is a miuch darker shade of blue than Hardy's/Harvey's example. However, having said that, his also appears to have windows made up of individual sheets.
Could we please have a photograph clearly showing the whiole of the underside of the model between the front axle and the front bumper? (The photograph you have supplied has areas hidden by the baseplate.)

I see you are already convinced your self that it is a Pre-Pro, as you have put it on ebay yesterday as a Pre-Pro model.
