Only 2 colours that I have come across usually in metallic blue and a less common light blue again with various coloured interiors one noticeable difference is to the jeweled headlights the one's which I think are earlier are larger and have rings cast around them the second type are a smaller jewel set in a single oval shaped surrounding its this shape that appears to have been adapted for the Flyers issue with the headlights cast in place

The larger separate jewelled headlamp version is the earlier of the Two. Not sure when this change took place because the smaller paired jewlled set were available at the time the Zodiac was issued and it must just be down to an attempt for easier production.

Here is a smooth tyred version with the Orange interior.

personally i think the larger lights look much better and more to scale
Jeff you are correct about the other colours these are part of the Flyers range which we will come to later
i've not seen a gold Impy one do you have one ?
