Choosing one for your collection

Check the purple paint around the engines and the pointed nose. Then inspect the flame printing and bright rear wheel faces.

Compare the toy beneath the blister with the small Hardnoze illustration at the lower right of the card.

Collector questions

How is it different from the ZAMAC car?

The purple version has a painted upper body. The ZAMAC version leaves that metal unpainted, although both carry the B3565 code.
