That's brilliant Jason, superb condition. Is this a straight red paint or a red over yellow?

The only red trailer I have had in hand was red over yellow. As for the jeep it will be interesting to see what Jason says when he has looked at it closely.

The 900 pack shown looks to have been opened at some point as the backing paper appears ripped. That jeep is a nice one as by the looks of it it has the rarer white base and also the trailer is the variation without labels and dark amber canopy.

Thanks for showing the photos Ghosty :D

Hi Rob,
The Jeep has no trace of yellow at all, also thankyou very much for the link to Nigel Coopers info.
