Collector details

Compare this Hong Kong example with the same dark-brown fender combination made in Malaysia. The base stamp is the deciding detail; paint alone cannot separate the two.

Other 1981 yellow versions use brown or red-brown fenders and interiors. Check the molded fender color under neutral light, then inspect the blackwall tires, windshield and separate fender pieces for wear or damage.

Value Research

Match the Hong Kong stamp, dark-brown fenders, yellow body and blackwall wheels before comparing completed sales. Avoid grouping the similar Malaysia version with this release.
