Issue #01 & #02 was initially planned for release in early 2003, however the model was rushed through and was released late in 2002 to make up for the fact that the vehicle planned to be used as #67 in 2002 (Ford Focus Panel Van) was cancelled at the last minute.
Because of this cancellation there was a gap in the 2002 series that need to be filled urgently, the rush also meant that the base text included a spelling error that was only present on the first 2 variations; the base text reads ”FOAM FIRE TURCK”

Following from previous years the basic range card design remained predominately the same; for this year though the ”Matchbox” lozenge was moved to the left to make way for the 65th Anniversary logo and the card now contained a coloured vehicle grouping down the left side
