This is a very handsome model, the Hoveringham Foden tipper truck. It is one of those models which had a life in both the King-Size range and in the smaller scale 1-75 range. Hoveringham is a village in Nottinghamshire with significant gravel deposits - Wikipedia: "Gravel extraction was started in this area in 1939, by the Hoveringham Gravel company, which was taken over in 1982 by Tarmac. The Hoveringham Gravel Company used to have a mammoth as their logo on their lorries as a celebration of the finding of mammoth remains in their workings."
The Foden Tipper Truck, K-2/B was released in 1963 and was the second King-Size model to have the K-1 slot. It remained in the range through until 1971. It is always an orange tipper on a red chassis cab, the only variation being the plastic suspension is sometimes white and sometimes green, having no effect on value. Hoveringham Gravels Ltd issued a promo version in their own box, if you can find one of these it will be quite a valuable item.
