Hi Dave.
Although I have seen other photo's of your 51c in the past, seeing it with the 30c for the first time and how the colour schemes were identical makes me wonder if Lesney were thinking about making a fleet of construction vehicles in the same liveries.

Its possible,red and green was used on the early rollers and dumpers,orange carried on through the cement mixers ,chance now for the repainters to make up a fleet of construction vehicles in orange and green.

Thanks for adding the photo mokosex, I had not seen the 51c in those colours before. A nice little line up you have shown. Much appreciated.[/quote]
if you look in the price guide,quite a few pre pros are shown there,always worth knowing what to look for lol you never know when one will crop up.

I sure hope a Forum member bought this one. I would have loved an example of this one for our collection. kwakers

Interesting variation with gold shade base plate.

I put here on a pile two little known 51c variations
