Notes
In complete, clean and fresh condition, this Fuel Tanker has a pale grey interior, grey plastic wheels, bright jewelled headlights, both hosepipes, very pale gantry and all six matching manhole covers intact.
Version with ‘Tiger’ label at the rear of the tank. Bright and complete.
Four bright Esso paper labels at the sides of the tank (minor wear). Little surface scratch to one deep red side label.
Little factory retouch on tank due to a small area of rough casting.
The attractive end flap picture box is a more unusual find and generally more desirable than the later bubble pack issues. Bright card has light wear and a couple of end flap repairs.
