Notes
An impressive Foden Wagon with a wonderfully lustrous finish.
Made between 1952-54, this is the 2nd type cab version with no flash at cab sides. In violet blue finish with a lighter blue back and matching grooved wheels. Presents very nicely with a exceptionally fresh and gleaming paint finish.
Well-shaped, grey radial tyres. Bright clean baseplate and metal parts generally including the axle ends.
Barely a mark to the paint finish – minute scrutiny finds one small touch-in at cab side.
Bright fresh deep blue box with a complete and vivid paper label.
Showing light handling wear. Note the period decorative shop label at a lid side.
A difficult find.
