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 is a little ruffled in places). Camera man on the roof swivels. This version has yellow BBC lettering (unrubbed) on the camera. Complete detailed crest transfers on both sides of the van.
Hard to find a mark, but note the little smudge of the light grey factory paint above a wheel arch.
The striped Supertoys box is strongly-coloured and complete showing light age wear only. With deep blue card packing piece.
