Hi,
I am a lonely Lesney collector from Turkey. Unfortunately there is no other serious collector here to compare models. Sorry about my English. I am not a native speaker. I want to understand about one of my models. Not sure where to post. All Missing & unlisted 1-75 RW Variations topics created by Idris. So I will try here.

I have four 27C Cadillac Sixty Specials. All have intact rivets and axles and I think all of them are original. When I looked to Nick's variation guide I can not able to identify one of them. I have 3 models with different shades of lilac with pinkish roofs.Altough one of them looks like gray than lilac to me but depending on variations it must be lilac. The other one (the first one on the right at pics) is definitely gray with cream roof. Green windows and black base. I am not familiar with wheel types but they are gray but smaller than the other ones (others are gray, silver and black). Trim is type 2 in my opinion. Not sure about where I have to look for bonnet type. When I looked at behind of front wheels one of my models has a ridge which this model has not. This model has a smaller oblique line medial to right front wheel. (one of my other models without ridge have same oblique line). This model came without a box.





I read lilac models can fade if left in direct sunlight. There are variations with this combination in lilac. So my question is this model a faded lilac one or unlisted variation.

Thanks in advance for your comments.
Regards,
Burak

The Missing and Unlisted area is really for the discussion of the variations listed in older variation catalgues. I have therefore moved this to the regular wheels area.

Hello Burac welcome to Nicks Site, here is a photo of my Cadillacs may be you can see one nearer to your one you have asked about.

This photo is on George,s Casting Show.

Hi Burak. Welcome to the forum.
In able for us to see the proper colours of your models your photos need to be taken outside in natural light without the flash,
Your English is very good by the way so please don't let that put you off from posting.

Hi again,

First of all thanks for your replies.

I made a mistake on my previous post. I said the third one from left looks gray to me but it must be lilac. Actually I wanted to say it looks lilac to me but it must be gray.

@kerbside It is hard to say but the one which I asked looks like the one on upper row far right. ( the other one which I mentioned above like on lower row first on the left ) But not same.

@nickjones here are some more photos taken outside in natural light without the flash. I hope it helps more. I can put any other models to compare if there are any other casts have similar colours but I do not see any other model with same colours.

Hi Burak.
It looks like you may have found an unlisted variation, silver grey body, green windows and black base with grey wheels, very nice!.
