The #45 Corsair pale yellow used on 1971 bases of the #69 Rolls, #66 Greyhound Coach, #50 Kennel Truck and #41 Ford GT, came in 2 shades. One is slightly 'greener' than the other but is hardly pale green.

I think that Vectis have probably called this one right based upon the commonly accepted listings, but I've never really accepted the pale green description.

I will show...

Dark Yellow, Satin Black, Tan, Gloss Black and Light Yellow.

Trying to show Satin Black next to Gloss Black is near impossible and the best picture I have seen so far is on Christian's website, so I have not attempted it here.

Scrumptious line-up Ghostly Roller!
Have you found the tan one in the center to match up with any Lesney release?
Like maybe the King Size K-6 Allis-Chalmers Earth Scraper?
