That's an interesting Spectrum. It's an Issue 1, 16K, later expanded to 48K with that fancy little board with the connectors at both ends.

Gray keys, and D01 build level.

One of the first 60,000 ZX Spectrums, if the case and rubber mat are to be believed.

No - it's definitely not an issue 1 rubber keyboard - they were more fawn coloured than grey - you can also normally tell, because the lettering wears off...

The rubber mat is that middle ground grey before they went that grey-blue colour after the lawsuit about short sighted people not being able to see red on gray. The box pic is of an Issue 1 and the Spectrum's back is of a build standard 1. So bits of it are Issue 1, but.... the guts at least partially aren't.

Pics are only of the top - this might be to hide it's a hybrid ;)
