We had to include a general cut off date and anything pre 1982 was included in the casting show. The Sierra i am sure was issued in 1983.shockwavetrading wrote:Should we not be including the Ford Sierra XR4i here too? First variations are English.
Did George swap the cars with the boxes ? 11.5mm (solid?) wheels + blue light should be earlier production than red light with 10.5mm (hollow?) wheels !kerbside wrote:55d Police Car a nice pair.

Dave can you confirm the year date on the base i am sure it's 1983.leonty24 wrote:With refrence to the FORD SIERRA i have a example with a made england base the base is grey plastic will post a

Thanks Daveleonty24 wrote:Alex you are correct
I believe the blue light SF55 (all had either 11.5mm or solid 10.5mm wheels that I have checked) were made before the red light SF55 (all have hollow 10.5mm wheels only as far as I have seen). Red light SF55 seem much more common.........and of course we have the box art which PROVES blue light versions were sent to box artist!!kerbside wrote:As I am more familiar with regular wheels as the 1st one comes with the Red dome light, so I did not give much attention to the 55d Superfast models.
So for the Superfast purest just imagine they are round the right way (Mick)

No Problem. I assumed the cut off was the introduction of the Macau base.motorman wrote:We had to include a general cut off date and anything pre 1982 was included in the casting show.
