For me, this one proved harder to get than then the pale yellow. I have had a late, yellow example MIB (final version of the box for this model) since I was a kid in the 70s.

The windscreen is replaced - I used part of a blister pack from a recent Matchbox. You cannot see it here, but the red steering wheel is broken - only the column and two spokes remain.
I like this color, and this casting. I like the knobby tread wheels as well !
:wave:
(here's my other one)
