I was going to bin this one (bottom one) until I noticed it has smaller wheels also slightly lighter shade, I have seen them with large back wheels. its not in the best of condition is it worth saving?

The dot dash hub is harder to find than the 5 arch hub so in that regard it is worth keeping. As for the wheel size i cannot comment as my collection is in storage so i cannot compare my challengers with yours and as it is one of my favourite castings i have lots of them!!

It does look like the dot dash hub wheel is a smaller diameter from the images shown.

As Alex says dot-dash wheels is the rarer version and is a smaller wheel than the 5 arch.

Good point. the real question was should I put it in a box for selling off at the next boot sale, put it back in the attic or send it to vectis and wait for the cheque :lol: :D .
