This release and its companions
Choosing one for your collection
Check the flame tips and the print along the lower side panels for rubs. Look at the front axle as well: the small wheels sit far ahead of the body, so a bent axle can leave the car sitting unevenly.
This photograph gives a good view of the near-side wheels, yellow windows and roof. For a loose purchase, request the other side and a clear underside photograph before judging overall condition.
Collector questions
Is a green R7565 the same red release in different lighting?
No. A metalflake-green R7565 was also released. Match the body color as well as the flame design and wheels when comparing listings.
