Variation Summary
Choosing one for your collection
Look along the yellow front lip and the small mirrors for chips. The roof-to-canopy edge is another useful close-up area.
Check wheel alignment from the front; a low coupe makes even a small axle bend noticeable on the shelf.
Collector questions
Does 171/250 identify the yellow finish?
No. The blue HCX53 uses the same collector number. HCV89 identifies this yellow release.
