List of models with either Speedkings or Superkings base
Posted: Sat Jan 11, 2020 4:59 pm
I compiled a list of Kingsize models from my collection that can be found with either Speedkings or Superkings base.
Checked also the prepro models and they all had Speedkings base. For some reason K53A & K68A prepros can be
found with either Speedkings or Superkings base.
The first model found with Speedkings base was K35A Lightning issued in 1972.
The last model found with both types of base plates is the K74A Volvo Estate issued in 1979.
It is logical to assume that at some point more likely during the mid to late seventies that the decision was taken to standardize
the series and change base plates to Superkings only.
