Great display. I do like the wheels chosen for the full production models instead of those shown on the 'Pre-Pro' models.

Wow, with so many variations on each item you must have a HUGE collection! Interesting to see the round headlights on the pre-pros - they should have kept that as an alternative option for production (although that would have made even more variations for you to collect!).

I wonder if Volvo updated the headlamps just as the model was in development at Lesney, so Lesney quickly changed the model!
