The NAMC’s “Catalog of all Series Matchbox Models” (second edition), has an interesting crossover as variation 8-4B: large exhaust, hole in base. This might represent stockroom emptying at the end of the model's life. Can any Member confirm this variation and provide further casting details?
None of the AIM's “1-75 Series Regular Wheels” catalogue (second printing, 1983), Stannard, Houghton, or Leake ("Concise Catalogue of 75 Series Matchbox Toys by Lesney" (4th edition, reprinted 2006)) lists any variation not already catalogued by Nick.
U.K. Matchbox did not examine the model.
