Thank you friends for help.
Out the dream.
But maybe the black wheels rare.

Hi Mike,
I think it's the other way round: gpw are rarer than bpw. But I'am not sure about this.
A M7 cattle truck with fine grey plastic wheels is hard to find. I think it depends on the trailer colour (brigther and darker brown), too.
All in all it is a fantastic casting and one of my favourites. I only have one with bpw and red door, which now displays with my G-3 Farming Set.
Happy collecting,
Linus

If you check out
www.matchboxmemories.com there is a link to the Major models page . If you have variations I am missing I would be only to happy to add them to the list.
With this model the grey wheels are a lot harder to find and the trailer goes from light to a dark tan shade.

Hello Mike,
the colour of the tracor looks strange. Is it overpainted? Maybe it's the light or the picture itself what let me think, this one looks overpainted ?!
Which colour has the door?
Greetings,
Linus

I had the same thought Linus. It has a slightly metallic look, so does the rear wheel arch on the trailer. Perhaps it's the photo.
