Notes
Issued between 1958-59 only, we are pleased to offer for sale the most sought-after Big Bedford advertising lorry! This fine model has a vibrant red cab and chassis and a bright yellow back. More commonly found with the ‘Bean Can’ transfers, this scarce version has the all-important ‘Sauce Bottle’ transfers in original mint condition on both sides:
Bright baseplate:
With just a little marking to the paint finish, this is a very good find indeed!
Rear doors are complete and intact, opening and closing smoothly.
There are a few re-touches to the paint finish visible upon close inspection. Two tyres have a flat spot.
The attractive and correctly-pictured Supertoy box is brightly-coloured, with no splits.
Minor wear and rusty staples. No tears, No graffiti.
This is an especially difficult model to find in any condition.
