Notes
This large and detailed Crane Truck has a vivid and lustrous orange and deep yellow finish.
This is the early issue, so it has two blue metal drivers, no “Long Vehicle” sign, and metal ridged Supertoy wheels. Complete “COLES” lettering at the rear.
One chip and a few smaller marks. Presents nicely. With the realistic working features of hoisting, jib raising and slewing, it is no wonder that this truck is rarely found in mint condition!
The large, deep, striped Supertoys box is bright and puncture-free. Colours are unfaded and that includes the deep blue box base. A little edge rubbing/light handling wear. Card packing piece is included.
