Made from the original Dinky tooling for the Leyland Octopus Tanker (see base). Just like Nicky/Dinky toys in this respect. From Calcutta India.
Finished in vivid yellow with grey plastic wheels and deep blue window glazing. ‘Leyland Octopus – A Milton Product’ on the base. Well-shaped treaded tyres including the spare.
Plastic tanker in yellow and white has very nearly complete – complete ‘BURMAH-SHELL’ labels and logo on both sides as well as ‘BURMAH-SHELL’ logo at the rear. Intact tow hook. Jewelled headlights. Screwed base. Presents well.
