The blue regular wheels Toronado can be found with or without a tow hook.

Note that by the time the late gold colored version of the Toronado was produced there was no longer a need to make the jacks "golden" themselves. By that time Whizzwheels had been introduced and the "Golden Jacks" were no longer a selling feature.

And finally three Pilen copies, recognizable by their opening doors.

I'm not sure if it's a variation, but one my model has a license plate. Others, even mint, don't have it.

I have also seen it in Aqua in an auction. Unfortunately I didn't win that one...
