Notes
This type 2 version of the Petrol Tank Wagon in red and black was issued during 1946. It would have been sent to the shopkeeper in trade boxes, so not individually boxed.
This example presents extremely well with a vivid and shining deep original paint finish and complete and unmarked black ‘PETROL’ lettering on both sides. Replacement off-white tyres are well-shaped. Black ridged wheels. Complete with a bright and intact radiator and headlight assembly. 20 mph label is still present at the rear.

A few small chips to the paint finish.
Hard to find in this condition.
