The one on the left has the Silver number plate.

The Metalic Blue models, one with domed crimped axles the other has domed riveted axles.

The 1st issue the Metalic Red model.

What a difference half a mm makes 9x20 and 9.5x20 treads.

So many shades of Red, the Red one on the bottom left seems to have got a Metalic Red bonnet fitted in error.

The 65c model.

Two real colours of Red.

Please use a web hosting site (like photobucket) to store pictures so you can post them here, using attachments makes it hard to view the pictures when you have to scroll to see them. Seeing comparisons of models is hard to see with attachments too.

i actually had five...or should i say...i found 5

one i traded Jason (nearly mint)

one went to Greg our friendly dentist...one day i came upon it...it was a buy it now and i couldnt just email him to let him know as i thought by the time he finds the email the model might be snapped up by someone...so i had to buy it right then...he asked me to keep my eye open for him if i ever found another

so i have three left...but...

one is earmarked for George (kerbside)

and the other two have different dye numbers...a 0 and 1...which being a variation hound ill be keeping those two

and none have a closed base...you think one would...sheesh...what do i have to do to get one of those :lol:

I have one with a no hole base but it has closed step, It was found at the Falkirk toyfair on the same day as I found a 30c without rear brace, But I have never even seen a Claas with an open step.

do you think the open step made it to the USA more than the no hole base? i think the no hole is rarer here...as ive never seen one or had the chance to get one off ebay

It's hard to say, The open step is obviously more common but the open step is usually visible in the auction pics where the no hole base is not.
