31b in yellow without windows

Another playworn - the lean on this seems to be entirely down to bent axle ends as far as I can see. I presume that the unspun rivets in the roof are normal for this variation as it follows on from the black baseplate with windows which must have had rivets? Using my 10% rule I would price this at £30, but there have been enough forum debates to suggest it's not quite as htf as other htf's so how about £25?

Hi Ewan.
It was made without windows and it is a pretty hard to find model, The black baseplate version is as rare as hens teeth,

Indeed Ewan,they are Htf & desirable as Mr Jones mentions and finding them in mint condition is a mission cos there are so few to go around.The Grizzly specimen sold for approx 650gbp incl comms+vat & bank fees.

Hi Reg,the GPW with Black base is a beast in any condition from what i gather.Then comes the "windowless" variant and following that is the Black base with SPW.
The other Fairlane S/Wagon rarity is the Green & Cream/Pink with Black base with SPW and missing in most collections and which is rarer than the BPW version.Others might disagree.

Hi all!

Nice 31b Ewan. Of what I read the last time I think your prices are always fair and often a bit more than that. Sorry, not for me, but I think there will be interest by other members, soon.
The other Fairlane S/Wagon rarity is the Green & Cream/Pink with Black base with SPW and missing in most collections and which is rarer than the BPW version.Others might disagree.

That's really interesting numi. Are you talking about this version?
You also have a Pm, numi :)

Greetings,
Linus

I have the spw black base green & pink too, It is mint but it's an error piece, it has no windows and only one of the roof rivets have been rounded,
Reg, All yellow with black base are very rare regardless of the wheels and windows.

I have yellow, black base and clear windows - very poor condition.

I also have Stannard Code 13 - Cream/pink over green, SPW and black base - 2 of these in fact, so a spare in playworn, but presentable condition if anyone is interested in a swap...

Cheers,
Gavin
