Notes

This large and detailed Crane Truck has a vivid and lustrous orange and deep yellow finish.
This is the early issue, so it has two blue metal drivers, no “Long Vehicle” sign, and metal ridged Supertoy wheels. Virtually complete “COLES” lettering at the rear.

Presents nicely. With the realistic working features of hoisting, jib raising and slewing, it is no wonder that this truck is rarely found in mint condition!

A few little marks to the paint finish as you might expect. A little rough casting in one small area.
The large, deep, striped Supertoys box is bright and puncture-free. Colours are unfaded and that includes the deep blue box base. A little edge rubbing/light handling wear.
Both card packing pieces are included.
