Matchbox No.51 8 Wheel Tipper 'Douglas', Near Mint/Boxed!
Matchbox No.51 8 Wheel Tipper with an orange cab and chassis, blue tinted windows, silver tipper and 'Douglas' decals to each side. Rare white base/grille. Offered at a very fair price!
First issued in 1969, this lovely example is in good to near mint condition, a little chipped in various places, but mainly to the front of the cab and a little light wear to the decals. For the best idea see the pics.
The box is original, a lovely bright picture box, with some minor signs of wear to the corners and marks to the non picture sides, still a very near mint example, 9/10.
We've been fortunate this year in buying some great Matchbox 1-75 collections and here we have another one where the models were all bought when issued and carefully collected and stored.
