The white example was a short run, not easy to find especially in mint/near mint and almost always at a premium.

Thank's Charlie, that's nice to know, so if I see one, I'll buy it outright to secure it for future investment... :D

Hi Charlie
Just received another white model and noticed it has spiro front wheels the same as yours, my other 2 shown above have dot-dash wheels. Have you noticed this before .
