What do you think? is this an original one?

Very interesting model, any chance of a base picture. J

A shot of the other side plus photographs of the inside faces of both hubs would also be appreciated.

This model is often faked with different color wheel hubs. Every alternate color hub (be it orange red or green) that I've personally inspected on the JD trailer has turned out to be a fake. If there is a real one out there, I've not seen it. If there are any out there that pass inspection, they would be lunch box specials.

Lesney was literally producing these hubs in the tens of millions. The possibility that they would run out and have to use an alternate color hub is about zero. The only errors with this particular size hub were made when the slightly larger yellow race car hubs were mixed up and used by mistake.

a bit like my 65c with green hubs
seems you may be unlucky with this and your red rw beetle

Same seller as the "red" VW1200 - Here are some other pictures of it that I got.






Sorry they are not better pictures but these were given to me by the seller.
