Notes
A remarkable find, we are thrilled to list one of the rarest commercial trucks from 1958-60. Shackleton lorries are sought-after by collectors, and none more so than this rare promotional issue composed of resin and wood. One of around 200 made. Measures approx 47cms in length.
Finished in deep forest green and red. 8 red metal wheels (four are front steering). Well-formed original treaded tyres. Bare wood effect flatbed. With electric motor (untested).
A little wear to the paint finish mostly confined to one flatbed side.
Original, large, sturdy plain buff card box has very light wear only.
With period Note.
