The rare VW Beetles in picture 3, look like they could be by Prameta.

The big tinplate coupe in picture 4, seems to have 'CV' on it's index plate...Chad Valley!

Thank's Dave for the additional pictures.

Yes, I think it is smooth, I should have mentioned you have to look up inside above a front wheel to see the underside. This makes it a very early issue from the first year of production, April 1961. It even has all the rear light 'Jewells' in place, very nice.

Heres some better pics ,the paintwork is "dull" and it does have a mark on the roof.

Dull paint work is quite common on the #8 especially the red-orange colour variation, regardless that it is still a great looking Mustang and would display very well.

Thanks for the info on the dull paintwork,another thing i didn,t know
