#16 case tractor yes/no?

As it is a 1969 issued model and comes in a 'Superfast' type box, putting it in the range on a technical basis, I think it should be included.

Go on

The army version from the twin-pack is definitely a Superfast model...

Totally agree Gavin, here is a comparison photo of the Olive and rarer Olive Drab Case Tractors. Quite hard now to find the Olive Drab models as they were only produced for a short while.

Why do some gold firebird bases have no number, I know that they're the earlier issues was it just forgot

Hi Reg, this was a model only made with England base for 2 years between 1980 and 1982, bases can be unpainted and silver painted. Some bases say No.16 PONTIAC and some just say PONTIAC. The later issues that were made in Macau only said PONTIAC and my understanding has always been that the ones made in England with the No.16 were the earlier ones.

Thanks Rob
I was referring to the England bases I have them unpainted with and without numbers and it's obvious the number is a later addition and was curious, maybe they hadn't decided on it's position in the range when the first bases were cast.......probably me getting it all ar$e about face
