Multi Pack Variants

Post by mbox75 »

Hi Everyone

I found this multi pack this week with various Variants.To my surprise, the second Escort without Label.I was ever a blue in a Tesco pack without Label.This green Escort also has a brighter interior.

Hello Mathias,
nice pair of Escort's.
There could be a variation with labels and brighter interior, too.

Demnach könnte es auch eine Variante mit Labels und hellen Interior geben. Hast Du das schon einmal mit Deinen Modellen abgeglichen?
Ich schau meine auch einmal durch.

As always: nice to see your clear pictures of Superfast variations. I do not know many collectors with a clean and premium-quality collection like yours.

Liebe Grüße,
Linus

Yes, a very nice Escort. So much better without the labels I think :D and the JPS is a beauty too.

When issued, Lesney seemed just to pack what ever was at hand in these packs. End of promotional runs, possibly cancelled promotional runs, odd models just hanging around.
It is almost impossible to tell now a days what was originally in the packs unless you had it from new because it's so easy to swap the models around. I have a number of these packs and no two are the same which isn't surprising taking in to account my above comments.
Still you do find some unusual models which is great.
That's a nice pack you there. The opaque windowed Pontiac looks like an add on, but who can really tell.
