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?.

those wheels look grey to me and its lesney not lesley

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.

Looking closely it does have red paint under the yellow the tanker has black wheels on the trailer but are grey on the front unit it says Mobil gas

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
