GENERAL INFO

The 30C was released in 1965 and was available even in Superfast wheels later on. However, it was never released in an F type box.

Therefore, only E boxes are available for this model. It was first released in E2 sub-type. The model is colored in dark green cab and is available with and without the NEW MODEL on end flaps. Note that the box without the NEW MODEL was released in two different patterns of top/bottom color cobinations.

The E2 boxes were followed by an E3 box. On this one and on all of the later boxes, the cab is light green. That major variation would have three different patterns: E, E4 without “®” and with “®”.

RARITY

The E3 box is a bit less common and the NEW MODEL one is a nice one to get.
