Notes
A scarce find.
This Underslung Heavy Duty Lorry with Driver in military green was made 1940-41.
An impressive model that has spent most of the past 80 or so years safely tucked away in its sturdy box.
Silver trim. 18 wheels. Well-shaped treaded tyres. With two opening compartments.
Very near mint with barely a mark.
Sturdy red lift-off lid box has a vivid blue illustrated paper label. Light wear/ruffling.
With Instructions & near-complete packet of screws if either accessory piece (which would have been available separately at the time) were to be affixed.
A quite poignant sheet of newspaper from ‘The Daily Herald’, May 9th 1939 lined the box base:
