Hi Antonin,
I have checked my notes, very well spotted on the decal guide . I do not have one of these in my collection.
I have all the other variations but no new ones, do you think the 2nd variation with small triangle braces and the 3rd variation with no base braces are always together
on the same model.

Here you see my Matchbox Kingsize K2 Dart Truck on my 1965 Matchbox general display.



This is populated like it was pictured in the rare Matchbox UK trade catalogue.
It took some time to find the right models with the right boxes. I have the boxes for all the models but these are not on the display.
Only missing the girl now .

Do we know who that nice Lady is, a member of the sales team perhaps or the wife of one of the directors. Even better if she is reading this, she can come forward and introduce herself!

Ghosty.

She's another "Sales Aid." Most likely a hired model for the trade show (still a common practice today).

She would probably be about 75 now - so you could be in with a chance ghostie....
