Description
Supplied from the ‘Harrogate’ collection.
This is a very scarce early issue light grey 1st cab Foden Wagon with a black chassis and red ridged hubs and cab side flashes. It has no mount block for a rear tow hook and no tank slots which were both not introduced until October 1948.
An additional important point is that it has no casting support for the chain posts underneath as this was not introduced until January 1952. There is a spare tyre mounted to the chassis by a correct silver nut and bolt. Please note that a black nut and bolt were not issued for any 1st cab model. Finally, as an early release it has the black herringbone original tyres which remain pliable and a full ’20mph’ transfer on the rear left wheel arch.
A very hard model and colour variation to find in any condition, which must be one of the best examples around.
It comes in a red and white wrap over label brown box with a factory large grey end spot.
Fully light tested with a uv lamp and totally original.

Truly superb and bright example.

The correct early brown box is very nice, with a correct red and white top and side label. There is some age grubbiness now but it is a strong box.
Lovely complete grey end spot.
