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). Camera man on the roof swivels. This version has cream BBC lettering on the camera. Virtually complete detailed crest transfers on both sides of the van.
Bright base and the original tyres run well.
Occasional small mark only to the paint finish. Note the addition of matte black paint at the rear number-plate area.
