62a General Service Lorry (AEC), issued 1959, length 68mm, box types B-C and D.
62b TV Services Van (Commer), issued 1963, length 64mm, box types D and E.
62c Mercury Cougar, issued 1968, length 78mm, box types E and F.



Not much variations on this model 62a apart from the axels, either crimped or rounded, and the Silver trim applied hap hazard, as shown.




The 62b modelscome with the base secured either with a clip on or a riveted on base, also the ladder rests differ by only 1/2mm I tried to show the internal braces in the rear but could not lift the doors enough, having the fear I might break them.


Still waiting for the Cream one from my mate, he said I would have it by Christmas,

the play worn model in the front is a childhood survivor...if you remember the pic of me as a kid at christmas playing wiht my new matchbox...the 62 van was one in the picture



here is a riveted base and a tab base with a rivet hole...so i would guess they had old an body without the rivet post fitted to the newer base with the rivet hole



the cream cougar i made for myself...the play worn cougar was a survivor from childhood...it was my brothers but now its mine!

My lone 62:
