Comes with magazine issue number 12.
There are four main editions. The normal model is metallic blue with a black interior and has a PUT A TIGER IN YOUR TANK transfer on the boot panel (an advert for Esso petrol at the time). It was issued with a driver in white with a blue racing hat.
It was also issued in white without a transfer as Mrs Peel's car in The Avengers Gift Set 40.
Some white models found their way into boxes, getting transfers applied en route. these are quite scarce.
Green #8 - Issued with Gift Set 37 and unlikely to be found in individual boxes, this is an oddity in that it retains the Catalogue number #318 but is quite different in having a detachable chassis similar to all the #319 hard top coupé models. This edition also has no suspension.
Some late white or metallic blue 318 models were produced with cast wheels and there are two types of removable chassis for the Gift Set version. I believe that you will only normally find the green edition with the small wheel chassis but it is conceivable that a collector may have swapped this in the past for a larger wheel version which has cast wheels.
Normal blue model was reproduced by the Corgi Model Club.
Comes with magazine issue number 32.
