They held 6 cars.

Quite the piece with it's gray tires and all - has to be about the first version.
I have the last version - a Superfast.

Great looking box too!

Musta have been huge. Did the superfast still hold 6 cars?

It tough to find six different regular wheels to load on this at the same time, most usually it was 2 on each deck although a Ford Prefect, a 70 Ford Thames and a Morris Minor can fit up top together,I cannot find 3 that fit on the bottom deck.The Superfast DAF is a bit larger and can carry 3 average Superfast up top, with 2 down below

This shows the squeeze to get 3 short cars on the top deck. Us children of the 1970s paid more for our toys than today in purchasing power terms, but we could choose from Lesney,Hotwheeeels,Corgi Juniors or Playart, all having top quality cars

When maintained the old gray wheels seem pretty solid. That is a nice piece. Thanks for sharing.
