Superfast Casting # 40

[nearlymint]

Jason a quick question does the base of your pre-pro guildsman have the same base as mine ie no chequer plate detail and no tow guide
yours is the fourth I have come across including the one on Christians site

Hi Fixer, yes my one is the same as yours.

I can understand why that prepro didn't make it into production, the colour is truely horrible!

That said i would be very happy to have an example in my collection

Found at Sandown Park last saturday (Thanks Rob), a darker red example which seems to be similar to the one shown by Nearlymint. Concerning windows, I see blue but they are officially green / light green / amber.

my only problem is not knowing if the trailer was from the SF era and not the RW era...it may be dumb of me but i would really like to add the model if it is truly from the SF era...i guess ill try to get a model with a G box to be sure...i wonder if they made the trailer in a lighter blue like they did with the tractor

Yes Dan there are lighter Blue trailers out there and that's why the light Blue towing arm was mentioned by me in one of your earlier posts/quiz thingy...

It does appear in the 1970 pocket catalogue alongside all the other 'Superfast' models, but I have not seen one in a 'G' box yet, but I think it is a candidate for the casting show here.
