18e Field Car w/o PAT APP

[Johnny Pimp]

I recently picked up a code 6 (without satchel on the parcel shelf), to go with my code 7 (with satchel).

I assume that the different interiors are found equally but how hard to find are the early bases without 'PAT APP'?

I havent got one yet and I can see this example isnt early production as it has thick rather than thin wheels!

To be honest Mick, it's not really one to get excited about.

As far as I am aware, the earliest Superfast conversions had these thick, 5-slot wheels. Then there was a shortish run of the thin 4-slots and finally, the thick 4-slots until its retirement from the 1-75 range.

I believe that the large diameter, thin 5-slot wheels only ever appeared on the 70b Grit Spreader. I certainly don't own any other models with them anyway.

Your picture doesnt show the number of slots in the tyres but I agree the thick 5 slots most like were made earliest.
I have a flea market beater box SF35c with thin 5 slot 12.5mm wheels but I cant prove it left the factory that way!

I have found the interior without the satchel is harder to find, but I would not call it rare. I have assumed they were left over interiors from the RW model and usually only found on the first issue with wide 5-spoke wheels. I personally have never seen one on the later issue wheel variations but they are listed to exist.

Those two look great together Brad. Very "matchy-matchy" as Bruno would say.
