Nice haul there @bunglebus
I don’t know why the purple Pontiac seems to be sought after and more valuable. Is it really that rare?

Seems to be. I think it may have only just made it into the Superfast era then been replaced.

According to Wiki, the red and purple Superfasts were all 1970 only - also suggests there are red and purple Superfasts with opening doors, now I've got yet more varations to find!

The Reds were pre-production models and a very rare.

Purple one with opening doors are even more rare. The last time Vectis had one for sale was in 2008.

For the ulitimate in Pontiac No.22 rarity you need to find a red car with opening doors in one of the original transitional boxes. I saw one about 20 years ago. They are very rare indeed as I can not even find a picture of one on the internet.

Transitional boxes are called thus because they usually feature the original regular wheel car colour on the box.
