Hey guys,
as I've seen the thread about the shades of RW Boxes I just thought there must be numerous variations of SF Boxes too.
I begin with the SF 5 Seafire box shades (These are mint boxes, not sunfaded etc.)

Let's see the variations which you have found!

Interesting Sven but you have got me worried, does that mean I need to start collecting box shade variations as well???.

I like the shade variations and did collect them myself as in my opinion they are a recognisable box variation, Here are two Harley Davidson boxes with shade variations.

Nothing more?
Here I've found two shades of the Fork Lift Truck boxes.

Shows up on my VAIO screen as a Purple box on top of a Lilac box.

Did you also notice the difference between the lower text (MATCHBOX REGISTERED TRADEMARK etc), starts in different places under the TRUCK word.

Didn't notice it yet, I saw only the different colours.
Thanks Ghosty

Got a new box this year with a Holden Pickup in it.
The box is medium blue instead of purple blue and it is my first box # 60 without the "new".
All three boxes in this picture have different text in the bottom right.

I know it sounds like an odd comment but...
Could colour variations in these (and other) boxes stem from how they were stored at the factory?!
For example, if some pre-made boxes were sitting on the top of a pile ready to go they would have had more exposure to light prior to being made up for dispatch.
Just a thought...
