Interesting, the articulated tanker is quite rare with black wheels but the cream coloured Vauxhall is what caught my eye, it should be dark red with a cream roof, is it repainted?.

Please use a web hosting site (like photobucket) to store pictures so you can post them here, using attachments makes it hard to view the pictures when you have to scroll to see them. Seeing comparisons of models is hard to see with attachments too.

The tractor unit wheels look grey to me, the rear wheels on the tractor do seem to have a darker face and grey treads but that may be the photo or shadowing. The tanker wheels at the back look dark but it's impossible to tell from the photo.

Hi Mark, the Mobilgas tanker comes in two parts, the tractor unit and the rear tanker. All-round black plastic wheels aren't that easy to find and are sought after if the model is in decent condition. It's possible but unlikely this left the factory like this, so someone has probably just paired these together to make a complete model. It's not worth much in this condition but someone may pay a few pounds more especially if they have a lonesome tractor with black plastic wheels :D
