Notes
Re-numbered from 39B in 1960, this is an interesting and harder to find variation of the Unic Sahara Pipe-Laying Truck with a darker caramel shade tractor and trailer and unpierced trailer detail. Matching metal wheels and a white roof rack. Four metal pins on the trailer are still in place. Complete load of six plastic pipes, still banded. Two spare wheels, window glazing. Fine original supple tyres. Shiny metal parts.
Very rare to find with white wheels stowed behind the cab (more commonly found matching the cab colour).
Barley any marks at all, and note that this is example is in completely original condition.
The attractive pictorial striped ‘Supertoys’ box is clean and fresh-looking with bright colours. No splits or repairs. No tears. No graffiti. Faint small stain. MInor age wear besides.
