An impressively detailed truck from Corgi.

Intact and straight shiny gold double horns on the roof. Complete red hazard ‘light’. Both spare tyres are still in place (couple of little cracks to one). Chevron paper label at the rear of the model has a little age transparency now. Occasioanl little dot to the paint finish. Looking like old shop stock, this gold boom version displays very well!

The blue and yellow card and cellophane-fronted box has such day-one bright and crisp card! Notably intact smooth original cellophane window too.
