A couple of Citroens with slightly different shades, and different box illustrations (spw with D box would be nice):







And a couple of Harleys:





These are different too:

Thank you for the showing fintail, your two 66b models are nice I have two but they are both the same as your one on the left for me.

George, Fintail,
I wouldn't have even known to look for this variation without you guys bringing it to my attention. Like George, I've got two examples of this model. Until today I just thought of them as the same. I've kept both because one (yellow dot) is from my childhood collection. I has a broken handlebar and rough paint. The other is quite minty. But today when I looked at the bases I see that I actually have two different castings! So which is more common? The one with or without the small triangular corner brace?

[Taniwha]

Hooray! An excuse to have more than one Harley! Shame I didn't know about this and sold my spare one a while back...

Mine has the triangular brace, presumably the later casting.

Cheers,
Gavin

So what is it, a Coach or Bus...?

Ghosty.

OK, on the 66C Greyhound Coach (Bus), Stannard indicates that with the square end labels were sometimes applied backwards so that the dogs were facing the REAR of the coach. Does anyone have one and a photo? I have been looking for one for quite sometime and have yet to see one.....................

Thanks,
Bill
