Thank's Ritchie, somehow knew you would have one as your 3 inch collection is astonishing.
The different tooling used for the Yatming suggests they were told to take the model of the market or change it and the difference in the castings is enough to allow the model continued production as it can no longer be classed as a copy of the Tomica and the suttle changes would stand up in a court of law in favour of Yatming (or the tooling broke and they had to make a new set!).
