flee market find on Saturday thought it was a sun fade at first but after a closer look it appears to be a very light/thin blue top coat

Hi Reg,
Is the interior discoloured or is it just the plastic window is tinted, I may have one somewhere very similar to this.
Not sure where the No14 models are.

Classic sunfade, even windows and seats discoloured by it - perhaps this car is from Australia or somewhere else very sunny!

Note the increased pigmentation where the paint is deeper, and the apparent discolouration of the windows and/or the interior. Looks like a sunfade to me.

as I said first thought was a sun fade it was just where it is darker in the moulding lines that made me wonder
and yes the windows are a little yellowed but I would have thought they would have been more so given the colour of the paint

Reg, are the seats the same colour from underneath the model and is the body colour darker on the inside areas.

the seats are whiter in protected areas and the paint is a little darker underneath about the same tone as the darker patches visible
all evidence moves towards a sun fade your honour
