Condition

This model is in very nice pre-owned vintage condition for its age. The orange finish remains strong across the cab, chassis and body, while the large orange plastic mixer barrel presents particularly well.

There are signs of age and previous handling, including small paint chips, marks and edge wear in various areas. Some wear can be seen around the cab, chassis edges and other raised surfaces, consistent with an original vintage model that has previously been played with or displayed.

The orange mixer barrel is present and appears in particularly clean condition. All six black plastic wheels are fitted and the major mixer and vehicle components visible in the photographs are present.

The model is not represented as mint and no original box or packaging is included.

Please carefully examine all supplied photographs before purchasing. They show the actual model you will receive and form part of the condition description. Due to the age and pre-owned nature of this item, additional minor age-related marks or imperfections may be present.
