Notes
Issued between 1958-59 only. This scarce model has a vibrant red cab and chassis and a bright yellow back. More commonly found with the ‘Bean Can’ transfers, this rarer version has the all-important ‘Sauce Bottle’ transfers complete on both sides:
Bright baseplate:
Hardly a mark to the paint finish, although closest scrutiny finds a few little retouches.
Original grey radial tyres (tiny flat spot).
The correctly-pictured Supertoy box with Sauce Bottle pictured is brightly and complete.
Minor wear includes corner scuff and rusty staples. No tears.
