Actually the wheels are there, tilt the screen of your viewing device, they will show up in the shadows.

I like it, you'll be alright if you get the foot-pump out Ghosty. Any idea who it's made by?

It's on air rides

Hi John.

I am not sure who the actual manufacture is. It is like so many of these plastic toys from Hong Kong there tends not to be a brand name or logo on the base. Having said that, I have had this picture in my GORDY MITE folder for some time which suggest it was marketed by 'Gordy International' in Yonkers, N.Y. as part of their 'GORDY MITE' range and as such may (or should!), have the gordyMITE name on it's underside (anyone want to confirm this).

My one doesnt have a makers name on it either, but I had it down as Gordy also. From memory it just says 'Made in Hong Kong', but will have check it in the week.

If he still has it, Tim might be able to throw some light on it as he had the transporter that mine came with, was a few years back mind.

Yes indeed, the truck is also based on the Matchbox original.
This is catalogued as number 710 and dates from 1968.

Yes they are Kevin but it sits so low you'd never get over a fag packet lying on the road without scraping the bottom of the car!

Well, if people would stop randomly throwing down fag packets onto the road, there would not be a problem...

Japanese copy of a 13A Bedford Wrecker This copy weighs about 50% more than the Lesney original.

Love these Matchbox-style boxes
