Some 15s (sorry if some 16s are there too - they do kind of go together though...):

Nice variations George. I must check bright and dull orange by 15a. Also the silver trim variation is interesting. No longer talking about fantastic metallic red VW.

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.

Unusual coloured 15a. (I think this may be the result of dirty paint nozzles.)

I don't think dirty paint nozzles would completely change the colour of the paint, It looks like its the same shade as the 17a Removals van in maroon, Does anyone else own one like this or have seen another one. I think its more likely to be a colour trial like the green 20a. Very very nice find Hugh, You kept this one quiet!.
