Thanks Rob.

Finding a model with that 'F' wheel among the 'M' wheels is a nice transition model as yours can not have been far away from models being fitted with the wider wheel design. Wide wheels being introduced during 1971.

While moulding numbers and letters also appear on wide wheels they do not follow-on from narrow wheels as you would expect. It appears they went back and ran through the alphabet again starting with 'A', so finding wide 'A' wheels during 1971 ('A' comes from 1969-70 thin wheel production) seems wrong and can be confusing!

Or go streight to my mould number/letters listing here...viewtopic.php?f=8&t=3477&hilit=%27Super ... =90#p41338

Thanks for the info and links Ghosty. This is what makes this a great friendly forum.

Incidentally, the group pick that I started this thread with shows a Pink Lotus Europa. This has a mixture of solid and hollow thin wheels on it...........

So does it have any 'J' lettered wheels?

The three hollow wheels all have 'L' on them
