Looks good, hope to see the rest of it soon as these are very desirable and un-common.

Thank's Kurt, any back story with this like how you got it and do have a box for it, are looking for a box for it.

Bought from a person who collect also regulars. Have no box. Have seen that there is also no picture on Nick jones matchbox variation list.
Anyone a box ?

Correct Kurt, Nick does not show this version on his website and I notice he has a note suggesting the models with White interiors may be 'Proproduction', making yours a bit more special as it may well be one of those.

It would be nice if you can get a correct box box for it and this is the type you need, an 'E' box as shown below. Thank's for coming back with the extra picture, you are very lucky to have that model, I look forward to seeing more rare models from your collection.

I have tried to do some base rivets pictures to compare.Side picture is one of the best ways, 33 is a bit blurry and my camera is getting on a bit now(like me). J

Thank's Jason for the rivet pictures and I agree with you about the angle to best show the rivet and your #14 Iso Griffo picture is perfect, lets see if more members can do similar pictures.

Dank je wel. Het wordt zeer op prijs gesteld.

Thank You Kurt for showing us pictures of both of these very rare models here on our Forum. I now understand that you are a veteran Lesney collector, but perhaps others here like myself did not understand that until now. As you well know, all Lesney rivets were not equally spun, so holding the model in hand gives us the best guide in being happy that it is original. I am especially excited that you have shown the Iso with it's very special white interior. These models with white interiors were often a very special small first run of a new model that were shipped to worldwide distributors like Fred Bronner in America as sales samples, and for early photos for the next year's pocket catalogs. Other examples of white interiors in regular wheel Lesneys I have seen or still own are the 23D Trailer Caravan, the 38B Vauxhall Estate Car, the 45B Ford Corsair, and the 72 Jeep CJ5. I know other rare specials like your Iso must be in other collections, but yours is the first I have ever seen or heard of until today. Cheers! kwakers
