Notes
Issued between 1966-69, this Ford articulated truck is in very close to mint condition. This truck just gleams! Complete with both wing mirrors intact, straight horns on the cab roof, and perfect “EXPRESS SERVICE” detailing on both sides of the bright silver, untarnished sliding doors. Quite magnificent and so eye-catching!
Looks like old shop stock. If you really want to fault it, you may note a trace of a rub on the silver trailer roof.
It comes complete with the figure, too.
The card and cellophane front box is a more unusual find . The white card inner is intact and there is the full complement of polystyrene packing pieces included too (one which runs along the base for support and two small sections between the card inner tray and the end flaps).
The card is extremely clean crisp and bright! None of the expected wear and tear to this comparatively flimsy box. The original cellophane window has a tiny puncture and a small section missing.
