That is a very nice thing to have. The date is intriguing, considering the Y27 Foden first hit the streets in 1984 in Pickford's livery, and 1986 in Tate & Lyle's livery!

Very nice Jim. I have a couple here but just show the decal locations (got from Tim) Makes you wonder how many of these were just thrown out.

There are a lot of differences between the two trucks. The Tate & Lyle drawing is much nearer what was finally produced.

I only have 1 RW drawing. The rest are from the 80-2000. I will try to get some posted as I come across them.

Quite a nice historical record. I wish I had the space to properly display such an item.

I would imagine they nearly all got thrown out Mick, I got loads (about 60) back then all from the same source, still got some tucked away somewhere as only sold about half of them.
