Green 31b with black base and spw

I recently bought some models including a 31b Ford Station Wagon. This model have black base and described as with gpw. But it has spw. I am OK with it because I do not have both variations.

When I looked at Nick's price guide this variation valued as £ 250+. Higher than gpw version. But Charlie Mack or online toymart catalogues are giving same value for gpw and spw versions.

Is this version harder to find?

Hello Burak,

The metallic green Ford Wagon (31B) with the black base and SPW is scarce but not a true rarity in my opinion. It is somewhat harder to find than its GPW cousin. I believe that shortly after the paint run ended for maroon / dark crimson base colors and went to black the model's wheel color likewise changed from silver 24 tread to gray 24 tread. The final wheel type is very rare, and that is black plastic. This was issued for a short time before the 31C Lincoln Continental replaced the wagon in the range.

Hello Burak here is the model with BPW they look so much better on this model than with the other wheels.

I am doing this as a practise as I am now on Windows 10 giving this ago, a lot different to Windows 7.

I do not think this going to work. Still got some work to do as no photo came up :o :o

Hello George, I am surprised you are having a few 'Driver Error' moments... :D

Windows 10 is only a slight upgrade over Windows 7 and has been developed for the use with 'Touch Screen' computers and laptops and the method for uploading images is pretty much the same as you have been using.

Keep trying, I'm sure you'll crack it, but if not give us a shout, we will try and talk you through it.

You're doing much better than when we last talked George. And I'd love see your black wheeled Ford when you get Windows 10 mastered. That's one I still don't have! :mrgreen:

If you interact with the forum from a portable device...NO, I don't think it is worth the upgrade.
If you are mostly using a touch screen laptop at Home, it might be just the thing for you.
Those of us without a touch screen computer...NO, again I don't think it is worth it.

Hello Ghosty, I can open two things at one go, namely Nick site and Photobucket. I click on the photo I want to send then click and says copied then click it as I normal so that it would to the bottom tray but Widows !0 does not show a bottom tray.

The whole thing goes off although Nick site and photobucket show at the top left hand side, so now I click on Nicks site and it comes up OK. Now on Windows 7 I would click on EDIT and a window would drop with words plus the word Paste, this does not happen with Windows 10 so I cannot post a picture !!Help!! :? :?
