No 2

Condition

Vintage Good - Tyres solid on axles. Wheels have standard minor wobble. Tipper works. Axles have minor spot corrosion but are solid and straight. Decals present and legible.

As pictured.  Made in England. Scale is technically 1/56. Made from  1960 to 1963, you will struggle to find a vintage item like this in better condition. Not sure of relevance of green wheel hubs. Some came with charcoal ones.

Regarding price

Long time buyers may have noticed a sharp increase in item prices. For the sakes of transparency, let me explain:

I obtain most of my goods from overseas, Europe mostly. Due to the inexorable devaluation of the rand, goods whose price has remained relatively static overseas have near doubled in terms of cost to land here. This is not just a direct per item cost, but includes postage (which has greatly increased in cost), customs and even bank charges. All are affected as they get charge on a rand value. i.e. Because the model cost me more in rand terms, I get charged more in terms of customs.

My request is that people please refrain from trying to contact me to arrange private or bulk deals and so forth. This is contra the platforms rules and also not economically viable for me.
