Matchbox King Size/Speed Kings.
Matchbox King Size K-3 - Massey Ferguson Tractor and Farm Trailer - 1970
It still has some mud on it from its last time out. The trailer hitch was missing but it was fairly easy to make a reasonable facsimile from a wire paper clip.
From one of those boxes on the floor .
No load to go with this which should consist of containers which are covered by 'plastic' tarpaulins branded MW [ several other issues are available ] but it is unusual to see a playworn item still with its jib and hook in situ.
And it was a Scammell unit so I couldn't leave it !
