Superfast Casting # 18

[motorman]

So many nice versions1 to much for me as an transitional collector. But the problem is, once you get infected...

I tried to stick to SF transitionals but quickly gave up with so many other wonderful SF's to be had. I then decided to widen my area of collecting keeping my collection to pre 1981 issues and most definately no Eastern European imposters!!

I now have well over 1000 boxed SF models in my collection and I don't see myself stopping anytime soon Addicted - undoubtedly, Ashamed - no way, Happy - you bet ya!!!!!!!!!!!

Following on with the black wheels theme here is the 4-spoke white body version.

Stunning example Rob and harder to find than the version with foiled wheels imho

Totally agree Alex, I have seen just a handful with the black hubs.

Lovely pre production J, makes a lovely change from the black seat you see on most #18's

Thanks Alex, I have always assumed these were production looking at Christians list. Charlie Mack also lists it as a variation as well.
But I must admit you do not see many.

I am aware that this is listed in Charlies list as a production model. With so few of them to be seen I wonder though if it ever went on general sale, hence me considering that they are pre pro. Hopefully Rob can provide his thoughts.

Ok, maybe a plastics trial for the seat similar to the Harley that has various colours . J

That does seem very likely given the extremely low numbers you see. Great find no matter what J congrats mate.
