You asked if there were any prepros that were over painted. This was one of the proposals for the Lucas Tampo design. Clearly over a Harrods canopy.


Another example. The model in the middle has over painted components from the model on the left (roof & screen)



It is still a prepro as it has no number plate, and has trial decals, not tampo print.



I still maintain the Auburn is a repaint. It was never proposed to go into production in that colour. The first preproduction runs of the model were in a military green.

We found one of those "Military Green" Auburns like your photo in the collection as well.

This one is also well known with a creamy white body Bob.

Yes, the 2nd run were the white bodied models.


These can be found with unplated components in their entirety, or a mixture of plated/unplated components.

Yes, we also had one in the collection we are working on that was sold last month so now it is just a memory. Lovely model with no Y-number and an incomplete year.

I am thinking Lesney made a lot of these too as there are at least two others on ofas right now.
