My eyes must be going! I have both the same variations, though rather playworn. Strangely, though, I have roof cross versions with grey and silver plastic wheels with the later base. I suppose this means that some of the early bodies were used later in production. What a fabulous find in that condition!

Never thought I would actually find one of these, I thought this must have been an error in the lists. I assume using up old stock again.

That's a brilliant find! Is it definitely the later glazing or could it have been a trial?

I think it’s later, the dome light seems to have more of a flat on the amber and the green more pointed.
But you never know. J

The early casting with the smooth base (hard to find by itself) normally has amber windows. This one is very unusual!

Looks like the body is without the corner braces - can you confirm this is the case?
