There appears to be a second blue jag out there this one sold at vectis in July and looks to be the same as Antonin's
Sorry about picture quality as it's a snapshot from this months diecast collector

Antonin did say his was a recent addition. I think July would make it a pretty recent addition Fixer, so it probably is the one he has now been good enough to share with us...... No wonder he was away from the Forum, this one would take some time to enjoy! kwakers

I hadn't thought of that Kwakers , it's mentioned in the magazine that the vectis one had a crack to the screen and I hadn't seen that on Antonins if it is his and wished it to remain confidential about the source/price paid I apologise

You're right, Dick, that was me and I was long time away. First I had to work hard (even when someone says that the labor is the very last and the most desperate step, how to make money ), to have some money for this beautiful model and then I have enjoyed it for a long time.

Antonin is one of the most highly regarded veteran Matchbox collectors in the world Fixer. In this hobby, the joy of such a 'Rare' model as his is to have it enjoyed by other veteran collectors as well. Antonin's regular wheel collection is the most complete and detailed of any that I have ever known of, a lifetime of his devotion, time, and hard work around it.
There possibly might be five of these blue 65B Jaguars in existence, who will ever know for sure. His may be the only one ever made with it's unique gray plastic wheels. They have never been recorded anywhere before this that I am aware of, only thought to have existed in blue with silver plastic wheels. To see his Jaguar here for us to enjoy on our Forum is purely a treat that we may never experience in person. Antonin's 65B would be the centerpiece of any Lesney collection, well worth having to work very hard to pay for it. It can now bring you a lifetime of Joy Antonin! Thanks for all you are sharing here. Dick

As always, watch out for repainted fakes of this model.

Not a 65b, but it's still a simple repainted fake that sold for big money:

Hi Jason
nice that you can confirm the strange variation with SPW ø9x24. It was for me quite strange.

Hi Antonin, 9x24 is another one for me to look out for I've really enjoyed this thread, thanks for all your info and pictures.

It's a little bit of beauty and excitement that all together we can step by step glue together all model variantions.
