It's too late for me to learn that lesson. I'm currently happily married with four ex-wives. Now, let me say, that's a very expensive collection![/quote]

Yes, but think of the joy those variations gave at the time :D

I was lucky enough to see one of Hugh's yellow-hubbed tractors at the NEC on Friday. In the hand it's even more obviously a genuine variation, with absolutely no sign of gold under the yellow paint. The yellow paint is quite thin, and I wonder whether that might be why it was changed to gold, for a better finish? Anyway, an excellent discovery, and surely one of the rarest 1-75s.
