Notes
Issued between 1966-69, this Ford articulated truck is a delight! In very close to mint condition, this truck is complete with both wing mirrors intact (including the little reflective ‘mirror’ pieces), straight gold-coloured horns on the cab roof, and perfect “EXPRESS SERVICE” detailing on both sides of the bright silver, untarnished sliding doors. So eye-catching and it comes complete with the original mechanic figure, too.
This cast wheel variation is more often found in the later card and cellophane box.
Occasional little mark to the paint finish.
The bright pictorial card plinth on which the model sits is complete and strongly-coloured. Light wear due to the weight of the vehicle but no tears.
The pictorial end flap box is complete and bright. Light age-handling wear. Card packing piece.
