Notes
A lovely unused example, finished in vibrant orange and deep yellow. Note the pierced detailing of the beam beneath the logs (later issues unpierced), so an early issue. Also, note the cast cab wheels, later issues would have concave wheels. Very few minor marks. Looks like old shop stock with day-one fresh colours, bright metal parts and lovely, brand new looking original black radial tyres, including the spare. Complete with the log load, too!
The Supertoys box is a fitting partner with scarcely any wear at all. Bright clean colours on crisp card. Minor corner crumple. Quality Control stamp on the inside of the box lid. Evidence that a small colour spot has been removed from one end of the lid.
