Very nice Mick.
I did have Batmobiles with clear and another with amber windows, I got rid of them when I moved out of London. Wish I had kept them now !.

SMS88, you don't need me to tell you which "Batmobile" is the the one to keep, do you!

Ghosty.

WOW - amber windows , never seen that colour before on one of these.Clear windows were common on the last few years with wide wheels and additional copyright info added to baseplate.Proper purple windows are the most valuable black Whizzweels variation as far as I know.Matt black 1st issue + red Whizzwheels complete the top 3.Did you keep a photo of the amber windows example?

Hello,the only 1/36th scale batmobile i have is the later wide whizzwheels one,plus the later edition plastic fin batboat,and the 1st issue tin plate fin,with its coupling....

As far as i can see the 267 you show is the standard 1/43 issue albeit with wide wheels.
Here is a 1/40 scale compared to a standard #267. the real deal is very big car, Caddy Eldorado size huge

Here is a link to a page with tons of information regarding the various Batmobiles. He has far more varieties than I even knew existed.
