Fantastic model Al, I have turned over hundreds of these in the past looking for one without Superfast on the base, I assume David found it in USA which is where one would expect these to have been sent initially.

Another one that arrived was another #22 Blaze Buster with hard to find 4 spoke wheels. This one has lighter amber glass than the other example I have.
