Notes
Issued between 1962-70, this item is part of the much-loved Chipperfields range of models – and in very close to mint, unused condition too! The Bedford TK tractor unit with trailer has a vivid glowing red finish, shaped spun wheels, clean and complete paper labels throughout and a bright blue back (often they appear a lot paler than this!).
Couple of negligible marks as a result of opening and closing the hinged doors (rare to find this unmarked!) and a very minor as-made blemish to the vivid blue plastic (tiny factory flaw). Minor rub at front bumper. Notably, both of the wing mirrors are present and complete with the little ‘reflective’ pieces. The item comes with the full complement of six grey horses, as well as the original card packing* and banding for each horse.
The card plinth is fresh and bright, with both pull-out end tabs firmly in place and tear-free. Really fresh and bright – light wear only.
Nice to see that this item still has its large white card packing piece and an additional thin piece of packing card too – both so often discarded.
The outer box is brightly-coloured and tear-free. A few flecks of surface loss at an end flap and tiny wear besides.
