Notes
2nd issue (1975-77) without logo at rear of vehicle. In complete condition with both hosepipes and all six light grey manhole covers intact. Usual interior is bright blue – this version has a black interior. Both grey hoses are present. Domed (metal) wheels. Displays nicely with jewelled headlights and complete labels throughout including an additional ’ESSO ’ (factory) label at the front end of the tank.
A little marking where the two components attach (not visible when attached) and the occasional little mark besides. One ‘ESSO’ label at the side has minor edge rubbing. Minute inspection reveals an additional stroke of (factory) paint at the rear bumper.
The colourful end flap picture box is complete and bright, although there is some of the usual wear at end flaps.Little seam tear too. No graffiti.
