Comp3's 2nd + 3rd gen

(1/5) > >>

steve69:
I know there has been plenty of discussions over the years about the ages and labels of Comp3's.

Yellow = 1st gen
Green/Blue = 2nd gen
Grey/Green = 3rd gen
and so on...   

My question is.... 
What came first Green/Blue or Blue/Green ? is there a gen2 and a gen2.5 ?

OR
was there two factory's producing them (that's how they knew which factory they came from) ?

OR
Another reason?



This also seems to be the case with the 3rd gen Comp3's

Grey/Green with Blue Tioga    OR   Grey/Green with light Blue Tioga.

Well Steve, my bad for noticing this thread of yours  :-[  and...

..I think we should try and narrow down the timeline on the Tioga range mate. I will post the info from the Museum on the range and contact the member that supplied the original info to the 'poster' to see how he came about it mate  :daumenhoch:

Gnarlyscoots:
Any help in narrowing this lot down will be great please guys. I will email Tioga and see what info, if any, I can get from them too.

This is the info from the Museum...

Comp II have the block'ish tread and this first verison was before 1978 with big blocks for tread



These Comp II have only a slightly different label but the tread has narrower blocks 1978-1981




There is also this label Comp II believed have started around 1981



Comp III yellow label 1981-1983



Comp III Black/Green/Yellow label 1983-1986



Comp III Blue/Green/Grey label 1985-1988 (notice the blue in the letters is dark)



1987-1988 (similar to above but lighter colour blue in letters)



Comp III 'Rainbow' label 1989 - sometime in the mid 90's



Comp IV 1983 - ??????



Another Comp IV variation - (I don't know the dates on these)



The first Comp ST tyre known only as Stadium tyres - (I don't know the dates on these)



Comp ST Blue/Green/White label - (I don't know the dates on these)



Comp ST 'new font' label - (I don't know the dates on these)



Comp Ramps - Blue/Green/White label - (I don't know the dates on these)

insectbones:
Are the yellow label comp II + III repopped now? 

If so, are they a close match to the originals?

The Comp III have been re-issued by Tioga but the Comp II is still on 'hold' due to, for what I can gather,  'collectors' insistence it will diminish the retail value of originals. Something else I intend asking Tioga about  :daumenhoch:
