not out of your minter I hope :o
It'll soon pop back in and with a bit of glue on the rivets no one will ever know.

WOW Ritchie, what a wonderful Christmas present for you. Glad you have joined the 'Long-Seaters' club, yes, as "Fixer" says..."Someone will be :mrgreen: :mrgreen: with envy", don't know who he means really, I guess he's herd someone winging-on about wanting to get a better condition example than the one he has got, because apparently "Motorman" has an absolute 'Minter'... :!:

Thank you for noting the wheel mould numbers, they will be very useful in putting it in the 'time-line' and I am glad the Spider is no longer living in the boot...I don't do Spiders very well, still have to get me Mum to come and whack them with a Newspaper.

Here's hoping you have a peaceful Happy New Year.
Kevin.

Yes, those numbers mean all 4 wheels are from the 1st set of 11-2 x 2mm 5 slot wheel moulds made for the introduction of Superfast so 1969 F box or blisterpack model
