Notes
One of the trio of t.v./broadcasting vehicles made between 1959-65.
This B.B.C. truck is in all original condition with a deep green and pale grey finish. This model comes complete with the detachable aerial (often they seem to go astray and note that this one has a small split in one of the fragile components). Camera man on the roof swivels. This version has yellow BBC lettering (unrubbed) on the camera. Perfect detailed crest transfers on both sides of the van.
The occasional little mark only and this example would benefit from further careful cleaning.
The striped Supertoys box is strongly-coloured and complete showing minimal wear. Unusual to find with both card packing pieces. Dinky stamp inside the box lid dates this example from June, 1959.
