I believe that George (Kerbside) has one which he bought new in the box from a normal retail outlet.

The blue model usually credited to George ("kerbside"), is a later casting with the towing facility, but if George has a different model to the one shown here, then please George come on-line and show it here.

I can't find my picture of the baseplate, but this is the only blue model I know of, is this or was this your model George?

...and if I remember correctly, the rear lamps have also been painted, items never done by Lesney on full production models.

Ghosty.

Thanks Ghosthunter.
A blue 24c is also shown on the cover of a 1967 catalogue and also in the inside of it.

Allright, lets get back to Mike's updates.
Nice Jaguar Mike.
Jetzt hat mein Jaguar mit Speichenfelgen, den ich letztens in Hamburg aufgetrieben habe, einen Gegner auf Augenhöhe um ein Rennen zu fahren! :D

I have bought five years ago, this Matchbox motorway.
Unfortunately, the highway is faulty.
But no matter Nevertheless, a nice collector's item.
I put the box in a corner and forgot.
Today Nico found it again. And found this board even these car models.
We will examine the models, maybe something interesting here.

Greetings Mike & Nico
