Notes
An early classic Foden model – and a difficult find in this mid-blue finish with a black chassis and silver flash. An early issue, so correct without a tow hook or tank slits on the underside and correctly presented in the first buff box with a paper label. Such a vibrant and distinctive colour, this Foden presents well, especially with those early herringbone tyres!
20mph sign in place on a rear wheel arch.
The most attractive of colour finishes:
Bright baseplate and axles and that includes the ends.
Small light rub marks on the cab roof and the occasional tiny mark besides.
The early buff card box is complete and clean, with no seam tears. Factory ‘B’ stamp at a lid end denoting colour of model. A little wear including age grubbiness to the paper label and light marking. Usual rusting at the staples. Factory stamp on the underside of the box base.
