Notes
Issued between 1952-54, this 2nd type Foden has a shining original violet blue cab and chassis, mid blue back and wheels – nearly always found in the red and fawn finish, this is a scarce colour variation.
It is so often the case that upon close inspection, some touch-ins are found on rare models – happy to say that this example is completely original with a lustrous finish throughout. Bright baseplate and axles.
Marks/chips in the usual places i.e. mostly at wheel arches, few at the top edges of the light blue back, couple on the cab roof.
Retains a rich lustre so displays well.
The dual-numbered box is extremely clean and fresh-looking with vivid colours on intact, barely handled card. Period pencilled price at one short lid end. Strictly, this model should be housed in a 501 box, showing a 2nd type cab.
