Notes
This type 2 version of the Petrol Tank Wagon has an original green and black finish. Of course, never individually boxed, so models of this era would have been sent to the shopkeeper in trade boxes.
Original ‘WAKEFIELD CASTROL MOTOR OIL’ transfers are clear and easily legible with just the occasional little nick. Smooth black wheels and thin axles. White tyres are well-shaped and run easily (rather grubby now understandably). Complete with a bright and intact radiator and headlight assembly. 20 mph label is still present at the rear.
Type 2.
A few small marks to the paint finish. Model is sound.
Hard to find in this condition.
