GENERAL INFO

Despite appearing in early 1962, 65B was first released in a C box. The only difference is the distance of the numbers from the scroll. The model is read with yellow wheels and dark background.

The C box probably did not last long before the D1 box came in. The car appears in red, bonnet open, with black (or is dark gray?!!) wheels. The D2 version comes in three different top/bottom color schemes.

The E3 and E4 boxes offer a large depiction of the model, still with bonnet open and dark wheels.

RARITY

The E3 and E4 boxes are scarce boxes. The C box is not common.
