"Lesney Matchbox regular wheels 1-75" area. The "Missing & Unlisted 1-75 RW Variations" area where you originally posted is for the ongoing catalogue comparisons and matters arising therefrom. (In about four years time, you might want to add this model to the discussion of the 1c catalogue listings!)

so I was looking at it in its new home all the time

This cannot be the 1c model as the 1c model does not have a rear hook but a flat piece as per the photo.

It looks like a 1b Reg. Very nice model - interesting with the mix of flat and domed axles.

Cheers,
Gavin

You are right George, it is 1b Aveling. Anyway there could be an unlisted variation with flat haed and dome head crimped axles.

I'll have to re-measure it,is the tow hitch included in the length also do you include the front roller as I did that could be why I got the larger size


measured it again 1b it is without gold trim to tow hitch and mixed axles
thanks for putting me right gentlemen

Mixed axles are not uncommon on models produced at the time of the switch.
