Wheels

 

Front wheels :

Early DB5 C270 have type A, later DB5 C270 have type B.

Also you can find type C on front wheels.

But you can find type C with a type B on the same car : for example left front wheels is type B but right front wheels is type C !!!!!

I have looked through other Corgi Sets/items and have come across the very rare orange MGB from the Corgi Gift Set 41 (only produced in 1969) which has exactly the same type of wheels as the Aston.
