Black plastic wheels and a riveted base are far too late for the bottle logo, and the wheels and axles are very worn given the state of the body. To be fair, the seller does say that the headboard decal may be a replacement, but it still made £21!

The bottle on the logo doesn't look like any of mine Glenn, I would guess it's a refurb with repro decals.

There's nothing regular about wheels

I’d say so. The bottle on the decal is too bottle-shaped and the carrier film is too big. The wheels are really worn and the axles are bent, despite the apparently perfect paint, and the glazing isn’t properly attached. But someone paid £21 plus postage - presumably because they think they’ve found an unknown variant.
