I think it's the tractor unit from the accessory pack car transporter ingeniously adapted into a cement mixer. It's not rare, but it is quite interesting! Picture attached for those who haven't followed the link.

Thank you very much for the information!

hello everyone my name is Simone, I'm new to this forum. I am writing to you from Italy, in Veneto precisely from Treviso. I wanted to congratulate you on the passion you put into this matchbox world and have been collecting regular wheels for a couple of years. I need someone who knows more about me than one of my models that I kept in the scrap box until a few weeks ago and that I had never given importance but a doubt arose.

Welcome to the 'world of Matchbox Experts' Simone...

Would you like to tell us what model you want more information about and try and post a picture of it to us.

Welcome to the Forum, Simone.
If it's easier for you, please feel free to post in Italian with a Google Translate version in English. (however, I must compliment you on your your English, which is extremely good.)

I am puzzled about the coloring of the wheels. I have all with black wheels but I don't understand if they have become discolored and have turned gray. I read that it is difficult to find this model with gray wheels and I was intrigued, also because I had kept it in the scrap box for a long time

Welcome! From your excellent pictures, I think these are normal black wheels that have suffered from environmental exposure. From the rust on the axles it looks like they've been damp. Sorry - nothing exciting! But please do show us more of your collection.

I would suggest taking a sharp modelling knife, and make a scratch on the inner face of one of the wheels. (I think Glenn's right, and the scratch will reveal jet black plastic.)
