Nice find 'J', not quite as valuable as the last model you posted here, but still as interesting.

Very interesting model Jason. I think that it could be a PrePro model also (if there are no traces of the window frame). I assume that your model is a first casting modification, dark yellow colour, dark red interior with small tow hitch. I have in my collection two PrePros, dark yellow body with white/red interior. I think your nice model could be a third PrePro, which was mentioned up till now.

Hi Antonin,
The model does have traces of the window frame, must have been sprayed with the screen broken. Colour is also the standard yellow.

I picked up a white interior Jeep at the weekend. A little chipped but for $20 I was pleased with it.

Cheers, Steve

Here are my MB 72 B Standard Jeep's.
As most of you would know my Matchbox collection isn't built as much around the models as others here on the board so the content is below average but I'm working on it.
The Standard Jeep with white interior was bought at the Wellington Swap meet a couple of years ago now. It was for sale at $25. I managed to get it knocked down to $20 !
I was pleased with that. Looks like someone has added some decoration to it at sometime.

J, its hardly fair, your called nearly mint and your Jeep is mint while mine I wouldn't even call nearly mint !
May be we should swap.
Yes, I was very happy to find it, what ever the condition. At least it still has the windscreen part as most the time these are broken.
