10 out of 10 ewan! ,the only clue was the rear label and that i have only seen on the ice cream truck you mention,i had up to now had only heard once that the fire truck existed,i have never seen a model in real life or a photo or seen it listed ,it was robert newson who years ago in an email asked if i had one that was my only clue that it existed,the ice cream truck has been listed for a very long time so now i know that they are very similar,the fire truck is more than likely earlier due to the clockwork feature,i know its rough but it could be a long time before you see another( cue all the collectors with one to prove me wrong lol)

I spotted that Robin Hood truck - and I'm deeply jealous! I hope to get photos of all my RH models up on my web site this year (sometime!) - I'd love to have photos of your Fire Engine (to prove it exists), perhaps done on a white background, to show off the model better. My page on TP/Robin Hood is at http://toysnz.com/ToyProducts-RobinHood for those who are interested...
