Notes
This military green issue is in virtually mint condition, with all delicate parts complete and intact. Looks unused.
As-new original tyres run well. Spare is stowed on the underside.
If you want to fault it, you could note that the original number plate has slipped down somewhat. Closest scrutiny reveals a little rusting to the tiny metal component of the tow hook (but you have to really be looking for it, to notice).
The complete and crisp pictorial card box has a little of the usual handling wear.
These relatively flimsy card boxes are so often damaged due to the weight of the truck. This one has fared better than many! Small fleck of surface loss at a non-picture side, little age grubbiness and a couple of tiny tears to the tuck-in part of one large end flap, little tear to the other.
Includes the original packing card piece too.
