Vivid red cab and chassis, fawn tank and silver flash. Most attractive early herringbone tyres (although one has been replaced with a radial tyre; spare is herringbone however), 20 mph sign at rear, tinplate ladders.
Several chips at cab roof edge rear edge of tank, front bumper and wheel arches. A couple of small dents to the end cap of the tank. Bright baseplate and axles.
The buff box is sound with no splits with a vividly-coloured paper label. A little neat writing at the top edge of the lid and rusty staples. Some graffiti to the underside of the box base.
