Hi Charlie,
Just added this one with 5 spoke front wheels, actually looks pretty good with these wheels on the front.

One of the first toys I can remember! I have to admit that I don't know which variation it was, except that it was yellow...

Hi Jason,
Nice addition. Yes, I tend to agree with you that the 5 spoke wheels look good on it. I do not
recall ever seeing one with those wheels before. One model that is found with wheel variations is
the K27B Boat Transporter. Maybe the folks at Lesney used whatever they could find at the moment that fit.
Little did they know, that decades later, collectors will be talking about it. Thanks for showing the picture.
