Quite a difference in colours.

The three wheel type I found the GPW model the hardest to find, also notice the two different type "C" boxes.

Gavin, did you note George's two types of c box. One showed the two tone model as it was produced. I see you box shows a two tone model but it's only one colour. I wonder if originally the model was going to be two toned or if it's just a colour miss print on the box and they just decided to let it go?

Cheers, Steve

Hi Steve.
If I'm not mistaken I think Georges pair of 29b C boxes are from different suppliers hence the different illustrations, Note the font of the 'No29' on the front of each of the boxes.
