They look standard to me, i thought the rarer shados have flat roofs with red interiors or are blue

Re: spot the gem(with a twist)
OK, both have the same wheels. Last production models have blue bodies and as for interiors they seem to be available in various colours. Does the example with the launcher exposed have a smooth roof (very early production) ?

They both have "ribbed" roofs,i think the smooth or flat roof ones came with red interiors,but there are always variations lol.GHOSTHUNTER wrote:OK, both have the same wheels.

Re: spot the gem(with a twist)
Well, there are definitely two Matchbox 51c AEC tippers in the third box. But I can't see the cab or chassis of either. As far as I know, the only valuable AEC tippers have red labels on very early castings with thin tipper hinges (3 known) or black labels. Or was it a prepro or colour trial?MOKOSEX wrote:AEC tipper........go on

Re: spot the gem(with a twist)
The tipper underneath the Corgi Bond Bug has a red cab but will be a regular wheeled model...could that be the ALCAN or POINTER issue?
Still not sure about the Superfast model.
