Hi, I'm just after a bit of information about these sets if possible...

Until this week the only two variants I've ever seen are black with different decals, as per these:

and

This evening I won a job lot of Freeplay sets on eBay - they are supposed to have come from Trevor Baylis' workshop according to the seller - amongst which are four FPR1s. Two are black, but one is grey and the other blue with no decals at all:

If you know anything about these radios, or you've come across a non-black FPR1 before I'd love to hear from you! I have a great fondness for these sets and there seems to be precious little information about them online.
