Description
Supplied from my own long standing collection.
In 1952-54 The first A.E.C. Fuel Tanker was issued in Red with a yellow tank and yellow ST hubs with grey tyres.
On the side were transfers reading ‘Shell Chemicals Ltd’
In 1954-55 and an even shorter life span the same model was released as 991. At this time they dropped the ‘Ltd’ and the transfers just read ‘Shell Chemicals’.
They changed the box from the 591 blue box with orange label to the 991 stripped blue and white box.
Why this explanation?
This model and box have been in my collection for around 30 years. Either it was exchanged with another or it was transitional. The early 591 box has the rarer latter 991 model.
Light tested and superb.
