The model was first issued with the rear part of the folded tonneau in grey and are considered rare now. This was soon omitted as a cost saving and appeared in all over green. The radiator cowling appeared in either gold, silver or plain green and the tank filler cap was painted the same. A very rare last run had the steering wheel, which had been bare metal all the life of the model suddenly appear in painted green.

For some reason the model never appeared in the B type box

Box Range for Y5-1
