SF #3 Binz w/ Regular-wheel Wheel Arches

[Idris]

So...after all this ...."the find of 2014"...what's the consensus?
Is this a production and should be in The Variation Guide/Bible or a pre-production model?
Any thoughts? Don't leave a brother hangin'!

It's an obvious gap in the list of transitionals/ RW bodies with SF wheels have only been recognised comparatively recently, not only indicating that the body casting was modified very early in the conversion process, but also showing that variations such as these can still be under the radar.
I find it entirely believable that a batch of RW bodies exist with SF baseplates, especially given the chaos that seems to have existing during the conversion period plus Lesney's habit of misplacing boxes of older castings in the stockroom only to rediscover them at a later date and use them to produce interesting hybrids which do not fit the obvious timeline.
I think it's genuine and it will be added to the list of models I need to look out for.

Im in agreement!
It would surely be added as a new variation once more specimens come to light.
Super find anyway.

Good enough for me, Irdis and Numi - thank you.

Simply by showing this car here, let's hope I haven't single handedly driven the price up of this variation for the time I find the next one.
