This one nearly had me off my chair when I unpacked it, do not think I can handle any more like this. Ford group 6 with solid narrow wheels. I can only assume left over baseplates with wheels fitted .

Never seen or heard of these wheels on a production issue of this one, but I am not surprised by its existence. When you see these thin wheels on a 52A, 59B or 8A I am undecided as to whether they are best classified as short production issues or errors.

Superb find Jason, and in stunning condition. I wonder if I can ask you for the wheel mould numbers if you don't mind, thank's.

Hi Ghosty, wheel mould numbers . front 82A and 24, back 62 and 7. difficult to measure but the wheels are 11.5mm I think.
