Five years on, Harvey still seems to have the same model listed.

Nice spotted Dr. Jeep, it seems this variation is not so common when is spotted one time in 5 years. It seems also that the prices by Harvey are a little bit overpriced.

I assume this is the rare use of the phrase 'little bit' to mean 'enormously'.

Great find, I did add one to the collection a couple of years ago with white plastic springs.

Thanks! I think it's one of those models that's scarce but not at all valuable. But I'm pleased to have it, even in this condition.

i have one of these

So much nicer than mine!

I took this one apart because the rear of the body is broken off. I thought the interior view might be of interest. This one is Nick's code 4 - white springs, two braces, silver nozzle. I expect there were lots of casting variations in this hidden area!
A question - does anyone have Nick's code 6, with black springs? I've never seen one.

Nor recalling the white springs were something of a rarity, I made a custom out of this Crash Tender. Opps

I don’t think the white springs are rare - don’t feel guilty! Green springs are rare, and the 30x12.5 wheels are definitely scarce. When the postal service is back to normal I must buy one of your custom builds - they’re brilliant!
