Camera man on the roof swivels. This version has cream BBC lettering on the camera. Complete detailed crest transfers on both sides of the van.
Bright base (minor marking)and the original tyres run well.
The occasional mark may be found if you scrutinise closely (i.e. at door handles and on camera man’s head).
