D972

Notes

More unusual later issue made between 1967-69, in a yellow and orange finish, yellow plastic hubs, correct that this issue has one driver (plastic). All in fine working order with an operable winch and swivelling movements.

Complete COLES transfer and chevrons at the rear and complete chevrons at the sides, too. Correct that this late issue has plastic cuffs to the winding handle. Nice lustre to the finish – and this model has largely been spared the chipping that these models nearly always incur (occasional very small mark only). Bright baseplate, model is stamped 972.
Close inspection reveals a couple of touch-ins to the paint finish. Note that one of the original grey tyres has a small surface split.
Attractive sturdy SUPERTOYS lift-off lid box with detailed pictorial scene. Strong colours throughout – only the most minor age wear. Notably, complete with packing card pieces which are so often discarded!
