It's the same
basic model as last year's election special which had a politician figure on the
microphone and a researcher helping out by distributing leaflets. This year instead of a politician we get a
clown and instead of a researcher we get a monkey. Irony was alive and well and
living in Swansea in 1965.
Of
course this is another outing for the excellent 109" Series 2 (not 2a)
Land-Rover pickup or truck-cab as we Land Rover anoraks call it. The public
address body works well in the casting used for the wrecker. The tailgate is
missing and the hole which on the tow truck locates the winch on this one takes
the rivet for the back body.
It was
in the catalogue from 1965 to 1969 and is always scarce, sought after and priced
to match. |
