Very nice rolls, Alex, and now I know the difference between "long seat" and "short seat" ;)
I only got one and I looked down and saw what?...mine is a short one :cry:

Keep looking Peter.

It certainly took me a while to find this one in fact i have been looking at every SF#69 on ebay and at swapmeets and this is the only one i have found. The problem is that sellers on Ebay need to include a good image of under the rear wheel arch in order for you to see the long seat extending into behind the boot/trunk.

Well done Alex, you must be really pleased with this one. I see it has the 'F(2)' box with the long lower script saying...LESNEY PRODUCTS & CO LTD LONDON ENGLAND, instead of the first box script saying...A LESNEY PRODUCT, both types correct for this model.

I have some updated info for these #69c models, as some more turned up at my Father's house where I keep insignificant models in storage, like beaters and duplicates etc.

I have got into my piggy bank with a little help with a hammer and £3.57p is waiting here for that 'Long Seat' #69c :lol:
