MATCHBOX REGULAR WHEEL NO.51A - ALBION CHIEFTAN



A yellow Albion Chieftan Flat bed Truck with a pale brown load (51a) had ‘Portland Cement’ decals on the cab doors in a circle and on the truck sides in two lines.

All four tyres of wheels were fitted, with both the grey and rarer silver plastic wheels even appearing in two sizes.
