OK here is the model I believe was the first model after the VC was dropped from the range.
These possibly could have also been made in the 1980's.One thing that might be true is the engine number which is 139616.As the engine numbers in the 1980's really didn't make any sense at all.
Here it is.I quickly put it together tonight.
So it doesn't run yet (that I know of)

As you can see it has a different base to the earlier VC-Mustangs.It appears to have been the same cast as the auto-drives (self propelled),just without the gearbox section not cut out.

Just a little curious to see it has the remote primer face on the carby but no remote primer.I know that could have been changed,but was it? It is a LM carby.
It certainly opens this side up without the air hose.Much easier to work with.
