This is a transitional model that was first a regular wheels Lesney, converted to Superfast and lives on in the post Lesney era.

It was released at 55d in 1968 as a regular wheels item. It was converted to Superfast in 1970 and deleted from the range in 1971. As far as the 1-75 range Lesney car is concerned you should look out for a red roof light on the regular wheels issue as they are much rarer. In general the Superfast ones are slightly more expensive than regular wheels, but here the blue light is very slightly preferable.
