Notes
A handsome 1st type issue, made between 1948-52. Fine two-tone blue paint finish with a light blue flash and well-shaped radial tyres.
What a display piece!
Presents well with a lustrous finish. Barely a mark. Note a few small retouches mostly at wheel arches.
This tanker is presented in a deep blue card box with a bright paper label (a few tiny edge nicks). Light wear and a little sun fading to one corner. U.S. exporter Hudson Dobson label in green on a lid side (unusual in this colour).
