Hi All,
Kindly view pic and advise if anybody on here had come across the Ford Transit without the front number plate/holder cast.
Thanks in advance,
numi

Apologies for the delay in replying, Numi. I've just checked mine (bought when this model was first released) and it has the numberplate.
Looking at the photographs, I notice that yours has amber windows and a much duller finish to the baseplate.

The interior is sitting very high as well. There is a light and dark orange production colour but this one looks like a thinly sprayed top coat applied to the casting, unless it's the light in the photo. I guess there's no other casting differences Numi?

I have 8 of this model (I don't know how I keep getting these, every box lot has one in it!) Anyway, all 8 are green window and have the number plate.

My three all have the number plate casting - including the one with amber windows and olive green interior.
