[The-classic-collector]

so it was you djfb who bought that jcb!

[FB]

??? what?

[Andy]

I think there are several, all small modifications.

[FB]

now theres a surprise  :D .....do they all have different colour buckets and tracks?  ??? :

[Andy]

hehe yes, grey black, white, brown, all sorts

[JC]

I've seen two versions

Black chassis with grey tracks

Red chassis with black tracks

Any more??

[FB]

I'll check the one i have in the loft but its from around 1990ish....think it may be the black chassis/grey track version 

[Dwross]

Add Lime green little farmer version The early version was a 5c mine has grey tracks some were black I think.  Later version 80/90's all sorts of minor changes

[Pingu]

Yer mine from the late 90's has a black chassis and grey tracks

[JC]

The one in the picture is the early one at a guess then, the one that came with a bag of rubble in the box.  \

Not bad for 3 quid!

The rarest have red tracks & yellow roof & bucket, on the earliest decals - 5C.

I've not seen a Britains ,the DAVRIC kit of the 807 has yellow tracks, maybe that's what you saw,Andy? \
