Notes
An early classic Foden model – this particular version was made between 1947-48 only. It has a close to perfect, distinctive dark grey cab and back with a red flash, chassis and hubs.
Correct with no tank slits or chain post bosses on the base, small tow hook. Complete with all original radial tyres including the spare. 20mph sign in place on a rear wheel arch.
Very few marks indeed – this example presents well. On close inspection, there are a couple of little touch-ins to the front wheel arches, since there is a little minor rough casting at this site. Few minor marks besides.
Bright metal parts. This model has been carefully handled and stored.
The early buff card box with a paper label is most attractive – bright, clean and complete with a crisp feel to the card. Some rustiness at the staples as usual and minor age wear besides. No splits or graffiti. Nice example.
