Introduced in 1987 all the components were designed specifically for this model. The body consists of a single casting into which is inserted a smoky grey Perspex window section, being the first and to date the only Lledo to have the luxury of glazing. The body is supported on a metal chassis with the axles being held in place by a plastic baseplate. The wheels are single moulded hubs and tyres with the legend Lledo embossed on the outer walls. These wheels can also be found on the DG15 & 17. Withdrawn from standard range at the end of 1990.

CORGI 1/50 AEC TANKER 'MAJOR'
The model for 1995 was the AEC cab with an elliptical tanker in the livery of Major, who were suppliers of gasolines and oils in the North East and Midlands. The livery, in a combination of blue, orange, white and brown, is certainly colourful, and makes for a pleasing model, helped by the fact that the tanker itself is painted and thus is not obviously made of plastic.
