Given what you paid for it, it was well worth a gamble and the labels do look good. I also note it has the small diameter wheels. Nice one Jason.

...and the 'Domed' roof beacon, not the flat topped beacon as shown on the opposite model.

Hi Jason

Very nice. I like these odd label variations. specially when the are a bit playworn, this increases the chance that they are made on factory.

Good find, those finger grease soaked Esso labels have perfect corners so zero grounds to suspect its not 100% factory original. Is that Muira yellow or as a late issue does it match the baseplates of #75 Alfa Carabou?

Yes I like this one a lot and another error piece into the collection.
Just checking the 3c and this one is white same as the superfast, I can now confirm all wide arch off white and white with either base.
