TEMPA VARIATION FOUND!!!

Post by TOYRFIC »

Get ready to be excited! I actually came across this tempa variation a couple of years ago, just finally remembered to photo and share.
I enjoy discovering these small factory changes, I hope you enjoy also!
Both models are black base Lesney England Baja Bouncer Ford Flaresides.
In the close up photos you will notice the model on the left has different black stripes on the hood.
They are wider and have a contoured - angle end when they almost meet the windshield frame.
The model on the right has squared off ends near the windshield.
I have come across only two Baja Bouncers with the angled ends, all others I find have the squared off ends.

Well spotted Jason. I also note the two different shades of blue on the main bodywork. Thanks for showing!
