Hi MM,i actually have no idea :oops:
I bid mainly for the box and the box turned out to be bad so was wondering if there are any honest sellers left and felt disheartened.Upon closer inspection of the listing pic,this amber windows caught my eyes.Initially i thought that it was camera/light reflection but when i physically checked,it yesderday it showed amber windows which i had never seen before.
What do u or others make of this.Do they exist with Amber windows.
Thanks in advance,
numi

Numi, there is a couple on Christians site. Having never seen one for sale before and never having seen any at swap meets i have always considered these glazing trial pieces personaly but could be wrong. They are certainly in very low numbers.

Hi Numi

I belive this is the Last for the Japanese Market Variant found in the Japanese Boxes.

Cheers Mathias

I have always associated the metallic red Charger with the Japanese boxes?

Wow - what a great find - never come across one before but the colour is spot on Lesney amber tint, not easy to fake a part like this so likely very special indeed (is the mould number inside the glazing as crisp as on any other SF ? )

Perfect numi ! That certainly came out of a Lesney tool, nice and crisp. Now that we all know that they are out there, I wonder how easy they will be to find on ebay this year - the hunt will be fun!
