Mick,

That looks like a nice yellow based #8 Wildcat Dragster, What condition is the body work in, as the base looks in good condition?

Cheers

Its not a standard yellow,its the apple coloured mixture between yellow and green that I discovered earlier this year on a tattier example.So now i have 2 of them,both playworn with the black stickers but one pink body and one orange body which must mean this previously unknown base colour was applied for bases used during the actual crossover from pink to orange!

Mick, Do you have a yellow based example that you could do a comparison shot with to demonstrate this unusual base colour variation?

Already shared here,see the last photo before code table -yellow baseplates we know so well are all Victor yellow or Corsair primrose : http://www.vintagebritishdiecasts.co.uk ... /sf8-f.htm

Cheers Mick, I will need to look out for one of these bases. The colour shown on Nick's site is quite distinctive and definately not your standard yellow. Thanks for the link.

I was surprised to find these ,didnt expect anything much from a small indoor fleamarket but scored some Dinkys and a pair of early Majorettes..........
