Very pale green finish, flat spun wheels, grey painted baseplate(1st issue has a black base). Complete and bright “HOME SERVICES” label above the cab window and at rear (very minor edge wear). Complete “HYGIENIC MOBILE SHOP” labels on both sides (minor wear). Delicate pale green paint finish has barely a mark. Shiny flat spun wheels and well-shaped tyres.
Delightfully-detailed grocer shop window scene with ‘Sugar Puffs’ and ‘New Laid Eggs’ especially high-lighted! Peeping through the rear windows, one can see the grocer behind his counter waiting for customers.
