Throughout this model's career, gloss black was always the most common base colour by far.Ewan wrote:Please excuse my total 'Superfast Ignorance' here
How would you rank the rarity of base colours on these? I only have one, I think it is an early model - Spiro front wheels, 5 slot rear wheels, grey forks, yellow hoist, label A and a green base.
On the early spiro & 5 spoke wheel examples, unpainted and green bases are also found (possibly both shades of green - duller and brighter, as on other models such as the Ford Pickup and Ford GT 40), and I am unable to tell which of the two is more or less common.
The same applies to unpainted and charcoal bases on the later red examples, and to charcoal and silver-grey bases on the final orange ones.
"Charcoal" may be one of several diffent shades of "almost black" (dark, light, matt, gloss, dull, bright), but not the colours most commonly called "blue-grey" and "grey-brown" on other models. Those latter ones are, to my knowledge, not found on the Fork Lift Truck.
