Release details
Identify Hardnoze from its broad nose and body shape before comparing the black finish and flames. Later Hardnoze releases use other colors, so do not group them with the original Twin Mill.
Physical details
Check the body finish, decoration, glazing, wheel pattern and base on the car in hand. Note wear or changed parts separately from the factory release details.
Keep this record attached to its documented year, toy number and casting. Similar Twin Mill names refer to distinct bodies and release histories.
Packaging and release context
Record the package or set together with the car when it is available. For a loose casting, the toy number and visible release details help distinguish the issue; a loose car alone does not confirm its original package history.

Collector notes
Paint condition, wheel wear, package state and completeness vary from car to car. Record those details for the individual example rather than applying them to every release with the same casting name.
