I am going to add some more notes in the unlisted variations for th Jaguar, I have found a very small casting difference on this model. J

Nicely spotted Jason, not only bpw but 20 tread Those badges can be hard to pick out in photos as well, a few of mine have untrimmed badges which makes it a touch easier to see in the hand but when the whole thing is trimmed it can be difficult.

Thanks John, I have added some other pictures to the unlisted variation as this casting looks to be earlier than all the ones I have.
Without Grille badge I have found very difficult, I have had quite a few in job lots and have been amazed how elusive this one has been for me.

Jason,
the model will always and always interesting.
A very nice find.
I'm already interested on further opinions of members.

I examined all the my Jaguar models.
But unfortunately none like your model.

I've long wondered that this model could exist, a BPW version in metallic red with either 20 or 24 tread. Now after more than 50 years it appears confirmed. Thanks for sharing.

Just when Nick thinks his job is getting finished on the variation site EarlyWheels, we all seem to find some very interesting details that have not been recorded in the past. This 65A with early knobby BPW is really a gem Jason. Perhaps when you share the casting details with us on the Forum we may find similar early GPW models like it. This could have been another favorite of 2014 for anyone else Jason, but for you it is just another 'Sherlock Discovery'. Nice Job Lad! kwakers
We did find these non badged late delivery 65s in our U.S. stores Jason, but we yanks never knew the difference existed until we read about them in Stannard's 1985 Guide. I pulled one out of my spares 6 years ago when coding, and I may have others still boxed from 1969. I spotted that variation in your picture right away but missed the knobby BPW!!. kwakers

Thankyou for the comments on this model, please see the link below for the casting difference. Turned out to be even more interesting. J

Absolutely fantastic discovery, Jason. I had no idea that this really very rare variation ever exists. My dwarves will have hard work to dig out somewhere this nice variation. It seems that 65b Jag has started with GPW ø9,5x20 and finished with BPW ø9,5x20 (or BPWø9x20?).
