Clear windows (instead of green) and a very raw looking base.
Could we please have photographs of the base and rear?

Untinted or lightly brown tinted glazings - even standard green tinted windows were clear (ie transparent) not smoked

Take a look at the join between the windscreen and the door window - looks like actually separate completely flat slabs of plastic which really would prove this a pre-pro NOT a colour trial if the underside is corrrect too.....

...or, alternatively, could end up confirming it as a fake.
We need more photographs!

Just what I was thinking. Hardy's/Harvey's does not have the rear axle braces. Furthermore, from these photographs, it is unclear to me whether the baseplate locating bosses (immediately behind the front bumper) are present. I also note that it is a miuch darker shade of blue than Hardy's/Harvey's example. However, having said that, his also appears to have windows made up of individual sheets.
Could we please have a photograph clearly showing the whiole of the underside of the model between the front axle and the front bumper? (The photograph you have supplied has areas hidden by the baseplate.)

I see you are already convinced your self that it is a Pre-Pro, as you have put it on ebay yesterday as a Pre-Pro model.
